Brooke Astor a prominent socialite and philanthropist kept a much-beloved estate called Cove End which overlooks the North- east Harbor Yacht Club.

The new newport W hile we may always associate the Vanderbilt name with the flashy appeal of Newport Rhode Island many of the family preferred the relative sim- plicityandpeaceofBarHarbor.PatriarchWil- liam Henry Vanderbilt first removed to Maine in the early 1880s. George Vanderbilt Wil- liams youngest and supposedly favorite son was evidently smitten with us. Upon his fa- thers death George bought the former Gou- verneur Morris Ogden Cottage in Bar Har- bor renaming the estate Pointe dAcadie. In 1895 older brother William Kissam Vander- bilt seeking refuge from the media storm sur- rounding his divorce sailed up to Bar Harbor onhisyachtValiantatthetimethelargestves- sel in the world. William spent much of that summer moored off Pointe dAcadie avoiding the press. According to the New York Social Diary Unlike at Newport few traces remain of the Vanderbilts at Bar Harbor. Many of the houses they occupied Mossley Hall Pointe dAcadie Islecote have been demolished. De- spite their physical absence traces of the Van- derbilts can be found in the old guest books of thefamousinnsandrestaurantsofAcadia. Camelot northeast Before she was Mrs. John F. Kennedy be- fore her paparazzi-flashed years as Jackie O or her hidden decades on Park Avenue as an editor at Viking Press young Jacque- line Bouvier spent her summers not simply as a debutante in Newport Rhode Island but also up here in Bar Harbor. The Auchinclosses had an estate up here says Denise Morgan co-owner of Olis Trolley of Bar Harbor and no doubt visited here every summer with Jackie and her sister Lee Radziwill. The estate is gone nowthe fire of 1947 took itbut I believe part of the wall is still there right at the corner of Routes 3 and 233 also known as Eagle Lake Road. Trolley drivers mention it as they pass by talking about the rich and famous of Bar Harbor. So Jackie Bouvier walked the streets of Bar Harbor one of our tourists remarked once while taking the tour. We cant vouch for the streetwalking but the presence of the nations top debutante must have made the lovely Bar Harbor sum- mers here just a bit lovelier. But wait a minute. Deborah Dwyer of the Bar Harbor Historical Society says instead that Hugh D. Auchincloss stayed at Redwood. Its an important early Wil- liam Ralph Emerson Shingle Style design. Its very much still standing and thats where Jackie would have stayed. As for the lost house mentioned by the trol- ley company Dwyer has told us I have a before and after picture of the house that stood there on a slide presentation I do to show the property before and after the school was built. Part of the wall survived but the wrought-iron gate disappeared. The last people who had it were the Sultan ruler of Turkey and Princess Bernadina. Only in Bar Harbor would a sultan own- ing a house in Bar Harbor be floated as a more plausible anecdote. rockefeller Center J ohn D. Rockefeller a high-school- dropout dreamed of racking up 100000 and living to a hundred. Though he fell two years shy of achieving a centennial Rockefeller far outstripped his financial goal. To this day he remains the wealthiest individual in U.S. history. How- ever it was Johns youngest sonthe anx- ious and subdued John Junior Rockefell- erwhose fate is inexorably entwined with Maine history. His passion for the states wild landscape inspired the creation of Aca- dia National Park as we know it today. John D. Rockefeller Jr. and his wife Abby Aldrich Rockefeller paid their first visit to Acadia in the early 20th century shortly after their marriage in 1901. At this point Bar Harbor was already swarming with the glamorous rusticator crowd. For the reserved and frugal Rockefeller Jr. the Bar Harbor scene held little appeal. Instead the couple instead gravitated to the rela- tive peace of Seal Harbor on the southeast- ern shore of the island. This sheltered cove would become the familys annual summer getaway. Their son and future Vice Presi- dent Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller was even born in the holiday cottage they rented in the bay during the summer of 1908. John Jr. began construction on what would become the family vacation home for over 50 years a sprawling 100-room mansion named Trivia question Which two Vice Presidents were born in Maine Cove End Brooke Astor in happier times with her son Anthony Marshall.
