The Gift of Acadia / Maine: America's Coast

Join former NBC News correspondent and A&E "Biography" host Jack Perkins for two classic documentaries exploring the Maine coast. "The Gift of Acadia" tells the history of Acadia National Park, from the private philanthropy which created it to the continuing generosity of those who have cared for it throughout its history. "Maine: America's Coast" shows that, while the Maine coast may seem distant from the rest of America, it is on these craggy shorelines where American history truly began.
