ELLSWORTH MAINE

September 6 & 7, 2012
As we had already visited Bar Harbor during our Road Trip East in 2007, we decided to visit and stay in ELLSWORTH. When we arrived, we first looked for a Motel to stay the night and after we found one, we wanted to check out downtown Ellsworth. The city has many historic buildings and points of interest such as the Grand Cinema, Ellsworth City Hall, Ellsworth Public Library and the First Congregational Church of Christ. Also the Union River runs through it.
The city is the gateway for tourists visiting Acadia National Park and the Bar Harbor area.
