This document is the National Historic Landmark (NHL) nomination for Yaddo in Saratoga Springs, Saratoga County, New York. The NHL nomination for Yaddo documents its national significance as one of this country’s oldest artists’ retreats and exceptionally significant for its close association with many of the influential writers, visual artists, and musicians who shaped and imprinted American culture with a distinct national identity in the twentieth century. Beginning full operation in 1926, Yaddo provided respite, lodging, and a rich, creative, social environment for more than a thousand visual artists, writers, and composers prior to 1962. Yaddo is nominated under NHL Criterion 1 for its association with personal and public cultural and creative events that collectively made a significant contribution to and are identified with the broad national patterns of the nation’s cultural history and emerging identity in the twentieth century.
