The Gift of Acadia

Highly diverse, yet incredibly compact, Maine's Acadia National Park has entranced generations of visitors with its rocky shorelines, deep forests and soaring mountains. Acadia is truly a place that gives back many gifts to those lucky enough to see it firsthand. Hosted by former NBC News correspondent and A&E "Biography" host Jack Perkins, this classic documentary celebrates the private philanthropy that created Acadia, and the continuing generosity of those who have cared for it throughout its history. This very special place is far more than just a national park -- it is "The Gift of Acadia".
