  • Bar Harbor Historical Society, Bar Harbor, Maine, United States
    Built in 1902, La Rochelle is a simply jaw-dropping estate. This enormous mansion has 41 rooms and a ton of history. It's now owned by the Maine Seacoast Mission Society, which purchased the property for only a dollar.

    St. Saviour's Episcopal Church is a quirky architectural oddity. This church was built in multiple sections, with the oldest parts dating back to 1877 and the newest to the 1930s. The end result is an oddly endearing and totally unique structure.
    10 minutes
  • Jesup Memorial Library, Bar Harbor, Maine, United States
    This historic library dates all the way back to 1877. At the time, it had only 250 volumes, almost all of which were donated by the town's wealthy residents. Since then, that small collection has continued to expand.
    10 minutes
  • Abbe Museum, Bar Harbor, Maine, United States
    Abbe Museum celebrates the heritage of the native Wabanaki. Also known as the People of the Dawn, the Wabanaki lived in Bar Harbor long before it was Bar Harbor.

    10 minutes

    Bar Harbor's village green isn't just any old park. It was designed by Beatrix Farrand, who also designed the Rose Garden at the White House! It features an 1896 street clock, a historic bandstand, and a fountain in the style of 17th century Italian fountains.
    10 minutes
  • 21 Albert Meadow, Bar Harbor, ME 04609, USA
    Balance Rock is an unusual landmark which rests right next to the Shore Path. It's a glacial erratic, meaning a glacier dragged it a very long way before setting it down here. This boulder is estimated to have moved about 40 miles before setting up shop in Bar Harbor!
    10 minutes
  • Grant Park, Bar Harbor, Maine, United States
    Once the site of a Gilded Age mansion, Grant Park is now just a pleasant, oceanside green space for all to enjoy. If you're looking for the ideal picnic spot, this is it!
    10 minutes
  • 1 Newport Dr, Bar Harbor, ME 04609, USA
    The Bar Harbor Inn is a seaside resort with a very long and complicated history. It was once a reading room where Bar Harbor's wealthy residents discussed literature and the matters of the day.

We enjoyed the tour very much. We learned a lot and it did not feel like 2 miles. Unfortunately we went on a Wednesday in August and their were so many people in town that we waited until early Thursday morning to take the tour to avoid the crowds. We were unable to cross the bar because we missed low tide but that’s on us.

We could not access the tour. It kept saying that the pass word you sent us had already been used. We looked for a way to talk to someone, but that was also missing. Overall it was a non experience.
