The first big community celebration of the conservation of Acadia was convened on Aug 22, 1916, at the elegant Building of the Arts near the Kebo Golf Course in Bar Harbor. The program featured historic speeches by President Eliot, George B. Dorr and eminent islander Luere Babson Deasy. On Monday, Aug 22, 2016, at 1:45 pm St Saviour’s Episcopal Church and Friends of Acadia will reprise this celebration on its 100th anniversary. The historic speeches will be reoffered by direct descendants of Eliot and Deasy and Mr. Dorr’s biographer. For more information, call 669-8256.
