Now that all of our Undiscovered Maine team is back from winter break, the semester is in full swing and we have work to do! We will be continuing to find new hidden gems and undiscovered places to feature on our website. We would like to welcome a few new team members to the group, Avery, Allison, and Colby!<\/p>\n

\"\"Today, we are focusing on Deer Isle. Located on the western side of our Downeast focus area, Deer Isle is home to a couple of small towns that are packed full of hidden gems and interesting places! The island is actually made up of two smaller islands (Little Deer Isle and Deer Isle) and is connected to the mainland by the Deer Isle Bridge. Built in 1939, it is one of the few remaining suspension bridges in the state. Prior to the bridge being opened, a ferry was in use to carry people and supplies to and from the island.<\/p>\n

On the island, the towns of Deer Isle and Stonington are home to about 3,000 people, forming a closely-knit community. The island is highly nature-oriented, attracting artists from all corners of the globe to draw inspiration for their work. Deer Isle is also known worldwide for the granite that is quarried there. It has been used to build a number of bridges in New York City and is even a major part of the John F. Kennedy Memorial in Arlington, Virginia. It was used in building foundations for houses as well, before the widespread use of concrete and cement foundations.<\/p>\n

There are a number of art galleries, restaurants, lodging options, and sightseeing points to experience here! If you are feeling adventurous, be sure to hike some of the nature preserves that the island has to offer. The Lighthouse Trail acts as a self-guided tour of the beautiful lighthouses that adorn the multitude of small islands surrounding the main island. As for lodging, try the Pilgrim’s Inn, a historic bed and breakfast dating back to 1793.<\/p>\n

Next time you find yourself looking for a little getaway, check out Deer Isle! There is something for everybody, and it is perfect for a weekend away from home.<\/p>\n
