This Chebacco Chats episode focuses on Francis Bernard’s dream for Southwest Harbor, a proposed settlement where all the five-acre private land allotments faced the bay.

Chebacco Chats, our weekly web series, features authors, historians, and others who study and celebrate history, the great place that is Mount Desert Island, and the way the island impacts the wider world.

Chebacco Chats are live on Zoom, and recordings are made available the week after they air.
