Acadia National Park News:
Acadia National Park in 5...
By land or sea, New England's first National Park is a fantasy island for fun.
The first designated national park in New England, most of Acadia’s 30,000 acres sprawl across rugged Mt. Desert Island. The park came to prominence during the late 19th century, when wealthy industrialists began summering in the island's largest community, courtly Bar Harbor. Boston landscape architect Charles Elliot and philanthropist John D. Rockefeller Jr. are the luminaries most associated with Acadia's establishment in 1916.

For a moment, their minds are far from the gridlock, imagining what it would be like to be taking in that view in person.
