Catherine Schmitt, author of Historic Acadia National Park, will present the story of how the forests and shorelines of Mount Desert Island inspired the creation of one of the world’s first land trusts, including the Hancock County Trustees of Public Reservations, which accepted the donations of land that eventually became Acadia National Park.
