Even though at the turn of the century 'the affluent' came here to frolic, they had much to do with preserving the landscape that we know today. It was from this social stratum that George B. Dorr came. He devoted 43 years of his life, energy, and family fortune to preserving the Acadian landscape. In 1916, Sieur de Monts National Monument was created with 6,000 acres of land donated by individual landowners. In 1919, it became Lafayette National Park, the first national park east of the Mississippi River. In 1929, the name was changed to Acadia National Park. Today, Acadia preserves about 40,000 acres of Atlantic coast shoreline, mixed hardwood and spruce/fir forests, mountains, and lakes, as well as several off-shore islands.
