Mount Desert is an island and town located in Hancock County, Maine, United States. It is the largest island off the coast of Maine and is home to much of Acadia National Park, one of the most visited national parks in the United States.
The island has a rich cultural history dating back to Native American settlements, followed by French and English colonization. In the late 19th century, it became a popular summer resort destination for wealthy families from Boston, New York, and Philadelphia, who built elaborate summer cottages known as "cottages" despite their mansion-like scale. The island has long been a haven for artists and writers, inspired by its dramatic coastal landscapes and natural beauty.
Today, Mount Desert Island combines natural preservation with cultural heritage, featuring several museums and cultural institutions that showcase its history, art, and natural sciences. The town continues to be an important center for marine research and environmental conservation.
