Things to do in Bar Harbor

Bar Harbor sits on Mount Desert Island beside Frenchman Bay, the main gateway town to Acadia National Park. In the late 19th century, wealthy families built grand summer estates here, and their legacy includes the carriage roads funded by John D. Rockefeller Jr. that crisscross the park today. Beyond tourism, the area is a center for biomedical research, home to The Jackson Laboratory and the MDI Biological Laboratory, as well as College of the Atlantic.
