How about a trip to the Bar Harbor Historical Society in downtown Bar Harbor? Located in the former St. Edwards Convent, the Bar Harbor Historical Society features antique tourist pamphlets, photographs, clothing and other memorabilia that trace the intriguing history of Bar Harbor from its earliest days as a fishing seaport to its transformation into a top tourist destination. Special emphasis is placed on the collections of George Dorr, one of the wealthy summer residents who was a central figure in the development of nearby Acadia National Park. Open seasonally.
