Experience Bar Harbor's Gilded Age with a visit to a turn-of-the-century mansion and magnificent views from the 1,532-foot summit of Cadillac Mountain.
Set off by motorcoach to the base of the mountain, enjoying a commentary about the founding of Acadia National Park, and take in the views as you drive to the top of the highest point on the North American east coast. Panoramic vistas abound, stretching over the island-studded coastline of the Gulf of Maine.
At La Rochelle, the finest Victorian mansion in Bar Harbor, relive a bygone era in this elegant Georgian Revival home built in 1903 for the great-grandson of Alexander Hamilton. A guided tour showcases this lavish 13,000-square-foot chateau, exquisitely furnished and situated on two acres overlooking Frenchman's Bay.
Notes:
