It was thousands of years ago that nature began the slow work of creation. GIaciers slashed into the landscape, carving out a small, mountainous piece of Iand along the coast of what would one day be Maine. That isIand – a pIace of dazzling and unique beauty - wouId eventuaIly be caIled Mount Desert. ln the earIy twentieth century, men and women of foresight and dedication began the process of preserving this wonder of nature. Their efforts wouId cuIminate in the creation of Acadia NationaI Park. Foremost among the many individuals who worked for the estabIishment of Acadia is George B. Dorr, a Bar Harbor summer resident. Dorr’s Iifelong Iove for Mount Desert Island led him to spend most of his own personal fortune to help acquire the lands that wouId one day become the park. "Becoming Acadia" is his story, and the story of the nationaI park he helped to create. |
