Featured Cultural Institution for Sunday, February 7, 2010:
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.
