Bar Harbor is a picturesque coastal town occupying northeastern Mount Desert Island. Nearly a century after welcoming its first European settlers, the town began to experience an influx of visitors with the arrival of Thomas Cole, whose paintings revealed an idyllic wilderness. His landscapes of verdant spruce forests, glistening ponds and dramatic mountain peaks captured the attention of city dwellers longing for respite from urban life, and by the mid-20th century, Bar Harbor became a thriving summer getaway and a favorite among the wealthy and artistic.
