1885
Cornish, New Hampshire

The sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens summered and then settled here, and an art colony of a hundred painters, sculptors and writers grew up around him in the hills above the Connecticut River. The double eagle he designed is still the most beautiful American coin, and his estate is New Hampshire's only national park site, casts of the Shaw Memorial in the garden.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
