Starting with the very first pioneer families in 1762 free and renewable water power provided the energy that launched the mills of Mount Desert Island. Mills produced the resources for the essentials of survival - food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, and allowed emerging settlements to thrive. Terese will examine the mill locations, products, and families involved in this industry across Mount Desert Island from 1762 until the early 1900s.
Terese Miller is a board member of the Tremont Historical Society and has given many talks on various historical topics of Mount Desert Island over the years. She is happily retired and busy with volunteer projects for Acadia National Park.
