Experience the hustle and bustle of this popular resort town
Bar Harbor has been regarded as a sought-after resort town since the 19th century. This artistic, culinary, and social center is located on Mount Desert Island. It’s popularity is due in part to the cool breezes and isolation. The very rich preferred the laid-back charm to the hustle and bustle of city life. However, in 1947, a fire tore through the island, destroying most of the lavish mansions that speckled the landscape.
