This shows Winter Harbor, Maine in the distance as viewed from Frazer Point near the entrance to the Schoodic Peninsula section of Acadia National Park. Frazer Point provides parking, a picnic area, public toilets, and a 40-foot pier with a 20' x 20' floating dock for public use. For thousands of years, this was the location of an Indian summer campsite. It is named after African-American Thomas Frazer, the area's first non-Indian settler. In the Gouldsboro census of 1790, Thomas is listed as being settled here where he established and operated a Salt Works company to sell salt to passing ships. At that time, Frazer Point and the rest of Winter Harbor were part of the municipality of Gouldsboro. |
