Acadia National Park | Travel Diary

Here it is! First U.S. National Park visit in the books! We saw puffins, climbed a steep hike, went to Cadillac Mountain, and ate lobster. The locations in this video are the reason I still think about Maine, even though it has been over a month since the trip. This was the first half of our trip to Maine- I'll be uploading another video about the sights we saw in Portland and the surrounding areas since I have more footage!

Remember to go outdoors and always drink your water :)

Monument to the Hancock County Trustees of Public Reservations

As part of the Centennial Celebrations, the Hancock County Trustees of Public Reservations dedicated a new monument on Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park which honors the role the Trustees played in the formation of the park. Joining current Trustees in the ceremony were Acadia National Park Superintendent Kevin Schneider, State Senator from District 7 Brian Langley, and State Representative from District 135 Brian Hubbell. The momument was created with the help of Freshwater Stone from Hall Quarry granite.

The Momument reads:
In 1901, forward-thinking citizens on Mount Desert Island formed the Hancock County Trustees of Public Reservations to acquire lands for free public use. Empowered by the Maine Legislature in 1903 to own lands of “scenic beauty, historical significance, scientific study or sanitary value,” the Trustees acquired nearly 5,000 acres. In 1916, they donated their holdings to the United States, forming the core of what became Acadia National Park. The Hancock County Trustees of Public Reservations continue to hold and maintain the Woodlawn estate, the Black House, as a public museum in Ellsworth.
This plaque, dedicated on September 6, 2016 during the Park’s Centennial, honors the Trustees’ foresight and vision that made Acadia National Park possible.

SUMMER COLONY - Interview with director Jeremy Lunt

An interview with Jeremy Lunt, director of the historical documentary SUMMER COLONY, which explores the social history of Northeast Harbor, Maine. A haven for many of America's most prominent families, the village of Northeast Harbor has been a summer retreat since the 1880's and is today threatened by spiraling real estate prices and a declining year-round population, both of which are explored in the documentary.
