Description

John D. Rockefeller Jr. gave the precursor to Acadia National Park much of its land. Like many rusticators[clarification needed], Rockefeller, whose family fortune was derived from the petroleum industry, wanted to keep the island free of automobiles; but local governments allowed the entry of automobiles on the island's roads. Rockefeller constructed approximately 45 miles of carriage roads around the eastern half of the island. These roads were closed to automobiles and included many scenic vistas, as well as beautiful stone bridges and gatehouses. Within Acadia National Park these roads are open only to hikers, bicyclists, horseback riders, horse-drawn carriages and cross country skiers.
