Cornish Community Initiative

Earth Day
2026-04-25 13:00 - 15:00 (America/New_York) | Cornish Meeting House, 14 meeting house Rd, Cornish, NH, 03745
Come celebrate the Earth and eat locally baked goods!
Since we are experiencing changing climate patterns, this event will focus on Resiliency; how we can adjust and mitigate this challenge in our own backyards. Also, with the help of animals, ways in which we can be more self reliant.
Come and learn about chickens, solar, soil practices, watch and learn from spinners, knitters and musicians.
Still looking for people who can advise or help with repairs and those with informative soil demos.
The Friends of the Cornish Library Bake Sale will include pies, cookies and other delectable delights.
In case of rain, the bake sale and fiber group will take place in the Meeting House.
Join us with ideas and your participation.

Saint-Gaudens Opening
2026-05-14 12:00 - 13:00 | Saint Gaudens National Park, 139 Saint Gaudens Road, Cornish, NH, 03745
You’re invited to join us for the opening reception of the 2026 season at Saint-Gaudens National Historical Park—New Hampshire’s only national park and one of New England’s most distinctive cultural and landscape destinations.
https://saint-gaudens.org/exhibitions/
Set on 190 acres overlooking the Connecticut River, the Park was the home, studio, and creative retreat of Augustus Saint-Gaudens (1848–1907), widely considered one of America’s greatest sculptors. His work helped define the American Renaissance, with iconic pieces including the Shaw Memorial in Boston and the Double Eagle gold coin.
The 2026 season welcomes visitors to explore the Park’s magnificent grounds, historic buildings, and unparalleled artworks, alongside a full calendar of programming.
This year’s opening also features the new exhibition:
Leslie Lyman | Work Beneath The Work, part of the Park’s Picture Gallery series.
In addition to exhibitions, the season includes Sculptor-in-Residence workshops, Sunday concerts, and a range of educational programs, offering a rich mix of arts, culture, and community engagement throughout the summer and fall.
Why this matters

A unique cultural destination in New Hampshire’s Upper Valley, easily accessible from Boston (under 2 hours)and New York City (under 5 hours by car or rail, less on Cape Air)
A compelling blend of art, history, and outdoor experience in a setting that is both immersive and uncrowded
A full season of programming spanning exhibitions, music, and hands-on arts experiences

If you’re interested in covering the Park beyond the opening, please let us know. We have a limited number of overnight opportunities available for media and would be happy to coordinate a more in-depth visit.
We would be happy to arrange interviews, provide background materials, and support your coverage.
Please let me know if you’re able to attend, and I’ll follow up with full details.
