A short five-minute ride down the road is the homestead of Scott and Helen Nearing, instrumental in the back-to-earth movement, where visitors are welcome. Less than an hour away you can enjoy numerous adventures, including a tour of the training ship for the Maine Maritime Academy docked in historic Castine, take in a pottery demonstration in one of the popular studio/showrooms in Blue Hill, bargain shop in Ellsworth at Reny’s (a favorite of Mainers) or the L.L. Bean factory outlet (a national favorite), or eat at a lobster pound overlooking the working harbor in Deer Isle. If you travel another half-hour to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park you’ll return with memories worth the drive.
