Saint-Gaudens National Historical Park is constantly striving to improve accessibility for all visitors.If you have any questions about accessibility at the park, please contact the park at 603-675-2175. Park Building and GroundsThe park visitor center is wheelchair-accessible and accessible parking is located nearby. Certain buildings and areas of the park are, unfortunately, not wheelchair-accessible. These include Aspet, Ravine Studio, Formal Gardens, Picture Gallery, and recreational tails. Accessibility maps of the park's historic core with suggested wheelchair routes, barriers, and non-wheelchair-accessible structures and areas are available at the visitor center. Pathways around the park are found in a variety of surfaces; grass, brick, asphalt, bark mulch, cement, and gravel. Because of the historic nature of the site, some of the pathways may be uneven and visitors should always take care when walking around the park. Upon request, people with mobility concerns may be permitted to drive closer to the New Gallery, Ravine Studio, and Little Studio to allow for easier access. Wheelchairs or walkers are not available at the park for rental or loan. Accessible ParkingParking for visitors with disabilities is available near the visitor center. The ranger in the entrance kiosk can direct you to the location. Visitors are also welcome to drive to the visitor center to drop off individuals with mobility concerns.
