Ellsworth

The landscape around Ellsworth is a tidal valley of the Union River in coastal Hancock County, a setting that has shaped the town’s centre and commercial role. As the county seat, Ellsworth serves a broad stretch of Downeast Maine, and its main streets link inland communities with Mount Desert Island. The river once supported mills and trade; today it remains a defining thread through town. The Woodlawn Museum, Gardens & Park preserves the 1824 home of Colonel John Black and its surrounding grounds, providing a direct connection to Ellsworth’s early civic history.
