Inspiration
The vision and values of George B. Dorr; Charles and Charles W. Eliot; and John D. Rockefeller, Jr., who made Acadia National Park possible, for thoughtful leadership and proactive capital in the 21st Century. Acadia National Park was the home to the People of the Dawnland first (the Wabanaki: the collective of Maliseet, Micmac, Passamaquoddy and Penobscot peoples).
