This place was not at all on my radar when I planned our trip. We had driven up to Windsor to see…read moreanother museum, and the lady who sold the tickets there talked to us about our plans and recommended this place as very worthwhile. So, after lunch, we crossed a semi-narrow wooden bridge and drove a mile or two to this site. You park in a small lot (there was a sign for overflow parking too) and either pay there (if a ranger is on duty) or proceed to the visitors' center (where you can also pay). Augustus Saint-Gaudens was an American sculptor in the late 1800s and into the very early 1900s. I was not specifically familiar with him, but his work and that of those who trained with him was featured on a lot of U.S. coins at the time. It seems like a lot of the older coinage (before the models used now) was related to him. He also designed the Shaw Memorial on Boston Commons (related to the 54th Massacusetts regiment of black troops - see the film 'Glory' for background). From the visitors' center, there are several other areas to see. The ground slopes down towards the Connecticut River in the distance. Facing that, there is a small gallery and courtyard featuring some sculptures to your right. There is also a large sculpture of Lincoln. As you proceed towards the river, there are some works housed in spaces bordered by high hedges (including a copy of the Shaw Memorial). These end at the border to Saint-Gauden's original house, which is sometimes open for tours. When we visited, the sign just said 'wait for docent to open the door'. We later learned that this only happens between 2 - 4 p.m., which would be helpful to add to the sign. A bit below that is the studio building, which has examples of the sculptor's work and exhibits on the process of creating some. Maybe 300 yards further down is a memorial (sort of a small Greek temple) where the Saint-Gaudens' ashes (and those of several family members) are buried. It was a pretty site especially if the weather is nice. The sculptures, especially those which are outdoors, make for good photos. They also offer periodic ranger-led tours. We tagged along for part of one, but had already seen some of the areas, so we broke off and continued on our own. If you are in this area and have any interest in sculpture, this is very worthwhile.

Living in smaller towns, I never had such a place, and since I have become part of this community I have been able to witness the Westbrook Community Center grow to offer so many programs to our community and beyond. My first introduction was the child care program they have there for before and after school. This used to be called Ready Kids, and now is called Westbrook Learns. This is an affordable and structured after school option that has been great for my son. They have activities, games, crafts, reading, etc to keep the children busy after school. If interested, contact the community center to see if they have openings and I highly recommend signing up early in the summer to secure your spot. My son also attends the summer camp, where they have scheduled activities, learning, field trips, swimming, and sports going on every day. My son comes home tired! Beyond the child care, the community center also hosts sports for children including, soccer, basketball, lacrosse, dance and much more. It really helps to keep children physically challenged all year around. For grown ups, there are a ton of exercise programs including zumba, boot camp, kettle bells, etc. I know I am missing so many services as I do not utilize them all. The next activity I plan to use is the swimming lessons. My son is an excellent swimmer and they offer lessons for all skill levels in their inside pool. Other activities and offerings include: Inside batting cages, full sized gym, historical society museum, senior citizen services, a community garden, music and dance lessons, a cafe, and much more. I hope others will share their reviews to let the people of our region know of all the services this excellent facility provides.
