The Gift of Acadia:
The Story of Acadia National Park

This is a visually beautiful video describing the private philanthropy which created Acadia National Park, and the continuing generosity of those who have cared for it throughout its history.

The video also details the many wondrous gifts that Acadia gives back to those fortunate enough to visit and enjoy this special National Park. History and scenic beauty combine to create a video to watch again and again.

Jack Perkins, formerly of NBC News, host of A&E's Biography, and a year round resident of Mount Desert Island, shares his enthusiasm for Acadia National Park as he relates the story of its early years.

Relive your moments in Acadia as Jack guides you along the magnificent coast and to historical landmarks in the Park, accompanied by the sounds of waves, gulls, and original music composed by Maine musician John Cooper.
