Protected by Georges River Land Trust since 2017, the Langlais Art Preserve is a 90-acre nature preserve in Cushing, Maine with a 10-acre art environment at its heart.

The Langlais Preserve encompasses the former homestead of Maine-born artist Bernard Langlais and his wife Helen Friend Langlais. Dotting the landscape are more than a dozen of Langlais’s large-scale wooden sculptures, remnants of the expansive outdoor art environment he created here from 1966 to 1977.
Today, a 1/4-mile ADA-accessible path provides a route through the art environment, and a 1/2-mile trail extends into the woodland areas beyond.

The Langlais Art Preserve was made possible through a unique partnership between Colby College, Kohler Foundation, Inc., and Georges River Land Trust.
