Synopsis: The only International Historic Site and the least visited park service site preserves the island as a memorial to the begining of the United States and Canada. The earliest European settlement (1604, before Jamestown) occured here and led to the exploration of the north Atlantic coast.
Stamp Location: Stamp is located in the interpretive shelter on the mainland along US 1, eight miles south of Calais, at the State of Maine Information Center at the intersections of US 1 & SR 9 and at the Hulls Cove VC at Acadia NP (see separate listing) where you’ll have to ask for the stamp. Access to the island is by private boat only. We were the only ones there the day we went in Oct. 1995!
