as soon as you arrive in the Bar Harbor area check out the tide schedule so you know when you can walk this and go when you can walk it and when you cannot to see the difference. Incredible experience.

This White Church is the 3rd iteration of the Congregational Church; the original (1853) White Church was replaced by a granite church in 1942 and, after that church was destroyed in fire, the third and last (1951) form of the church took shape. It is very similar to the original church and feels so very "New England." Although the church opens on Sundays for worship (and not during the week for visits), it is a very welcoming religious community and holds a community-wide dinner every Tuesday night. It also promotes itself as hate-free, writing its message in 5 languages. The meaning is perfectly clear. The historical 1790 cemetery is right next door; a much earlier Congregational Minister is credited with its founding. The Civil War monument in the cemetery honors the contribution made by then-Eden's son, in defense of the Union. The church is on one of the most interesting streets in Bar Harbor: Mt. Desert. Next to Main Street, this is one street we'd highly recommend for an in-town walking tour of this history-rich Main treasure called Bar Harbor.
