About Langlais Art Preserve
Langlais Art Preserve, located at 576 River Rd, Cushing, ME, is a charming sculpture park dedicated to the work of artist Bernard Langlais. The preserve features a collection of large wooden sculptures, including whimsical representations of animals and people, showcasing Langlais's unique style of "found object" art.

The park is surrounded by a beautiful wooded area, providing a peaceful atmosphere for a short nature trail that is about one mile long. The trail meanders past various sculptures, including playful elephant figures and intriguing pieces like a large finger and an open hand. The sculptures invite curiosity and reflection, making it a nice spot for public art appreciation.

Worth the stop. Came in on a leisurely coastal roadtrip between brewery visits. What a fun little adventure.

Cool wooden sculptures and the artist’s original workshop. Also very nice wooded walk / nature trail just past the parking area. Pretty flat terrain that makes for a nice wander thru the forest.
