Description
English:

An apple tree with a tall, straight trunk and leafy branches stands between an area of turf and a rocky shoreline.

Remnant orchard. The Schoodic Peninsula has been used in a variety of ways since Native Americans first lived here. Over time, primary use of the area for fishing, farming, settlement, and timbering were replaced by recreational uses. John G. Moore, a Maine native and Wall Street financier, purchased much of Schoodic Peninsula beginning in 1880s with the intent to construct a hotel and grounds. He died before he realized his plans to construct the hotel. Later conservation efforts resulted in the addition of Schoodic Peninsula to Acadia National Park in 1929. Of the developed areas, vegetation found at Frazer Point is the most manipulated: in addition to the native forest stand, there are areas of maintained turf, specimen tree plantings, and remains of an orchard. The Frazer Point picnic area was constructed by the NPS in the mid-1960s.
