The Black House

Woodlawn sits on the crest of a hill overlooking the city of Ellsworth and surrounded by majestic pine, spruce, and hemlock trees. Visitors may tour the museum and see an original family collection and learn about the Col. John Black family. Or guests may stroll through formal gardens, picnic on lush lawns, explore trails where the Blacks' horses once cantered, browse the museum store or investigate the carriage and sleigh collections. Woodlawn is a property of the Hancock County Trustees of Public Reservations, the group that helped form nearby Acadia National Park.
