After George Dorr, “the father of Acadia National Park” passed away in August 1944, the Town of Bar Harbor held a public exhibition celebrating his life and the history of the Park and Bar Harbor. Due to the overwhelmingly positive response to this exhibition, the Bar Harbor Historical Society was founded in 1946 with the first physical location established in a small room under the stairs in the Jesup Library.
