Quite a number of carriage drivers have at least heard of Maine’s Mount Desert Island, or they may have even driven there themselves. It is, after all, the location of Acadia National Park, which boasts miles and miles of roads designed and built, by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., specifically for horse-drawn carriages.
Here is a photo (c. 1901) of the Louisburg Hotel at Bar Harbor on Mount Desert Island. This incarnation of the hotel was built in 1874, after the previous hotel on the site (built in 1870) burned down in 1873. The building remained in use as a hotel until 1939, when it was demolished.
