Though Acadia is well known for its landscapes and natural history, it also has many rich layers of significant cultural history. Wabanaki people have lived here for as long as 10,000 years, and many continue to call this place home, or feel connected to it from afar. In partnership with the Abbe Museum, Acadia National Park, and sponsored by Dawnland, LLC, the Cultural Connections in the Park program hosts free public events every Wednesday from late June through September.

For many years ending in 2024, a local company offered a five-hour boat cruise to Baker Island interpreted by an NPS park ranger. Since a short trip on a motorized launch was required to complete the journey, the NPS commissioned this video by Will Greene, a local filmmaker, as an equitable alternative experience for visitors with mobility impairments who could not participate in the full tour. This video now serves as an alternative for all visitors who aren't able to travel to the island on their own.
