National Historical Park in New Hampshire

Saint-Gaudens National Historical Park , Cornish .

As early as 1977, the protection status of the Augustus Saint-Gaudens Memorial was extended to the garden area and upgraded to the Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site (see above). In 2000 the protection status was updated again, again linked to an expansion of the area and a re-evaluation of the protected buildings. In addition, a new register entry was created in the NRHP : ID 13000802 .

Such entities, National Historic Sites , National Historical Parks , National Memorials, and some other structures, are areas, landmarks, or memorials in the United States that have received the distinction not from the Home Office but directly from laws of Congress or orders of the President . These historical monuments are usually also under the protection of the National Park Service, but they have usually not been declared an NHL; often their protection status was granted before the Landmarks Program was introduced in 1960.

In March 2019, the 116th United States Congress upgraded the Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site to a National Historical Park , the Saint-Gaudens National Historical Park .

Since individual components of the Saint-Gaudens National Historical Park were previously protected as NHL, the landmark status was retained, the monument is listed under the name Augustus Saint-Gaudens Memorial in the list above.
