Introducing Bar Harbor
Set on the doorstep of Acadia National Park, this alluring coastal town once rivaled Newport, RI, as a trendy summer destination for wealthy Americans. Today many of the old mansions have been turned into inviting inns and the town has become a magnet for outdoor enthusiasts. The Bar Harbor Chamber of Commerce (207-288-5103, 888-540-9990; www.barharbormaine.com; 93 Cottage St; 8am-6pm Mon-Fri, 9am-6pm Sat & 10am-6pm Sun mid-Jun–Sep, 9am-5pm Mon-Fri Oct–mid-Jun) has visitor information.
