SUMMARY:Durlin Lunt: Otter Creek's Lost Waterfront
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a presentation by Durlin Lunt\, a lifelong resident 
 and former Town Manager of Mount Desert\, based on his 2026 Chebacco 
 article Otter Creek’s Lost Waterfront. This talk and the article that 
 inspired it explore  how land acquisitions by John D. Rockefeller Jr. and 
 the expansion of Acadia National Park systematically isolated the village 
 of Otter Creek from its ancestral shores. \n\nLunt will examine the power 
 dynamics between this small community and federal agencies\, illustrating 
 how unrecorded agreements transformed a thriving maritime hub into an 
 'island within an island.' The program will highlight efforts to restore 
 the village’s working maritime identity\, including recent legislative 
 efforts - such as the 2024 Waterfront Resolution - to reconcile generations 
 of community disenfranchisement.\n\n---\n\nThis program is a collaboration 
 between the Northeast Harbor Library and the MDI Historical Society. It 
 will be offered in person and via Zoom\, and recorded for later viewing. If
