Join us for a fascinating journey through the culinary history of Mount Desert Island with Paul Freedman, author of the article 'Mount Desert Dining,' in the 2025 edition of the history journal 'Chebacco.' Learn how local seafood, seasonal ingredients, and social change shaped 175 years of dining culture on the island. From lavish feasts at the island's most exclusive hotels to humble church suppers, MDI's dining has been both sustenance and social expression.
