Asticou Terraces Photo Gallery

The Asticou Terraces Gallery features a collection of images highlighting various locations along the terraced trail in the village of Northeast Harbor, Maine. This trail ascends the hillside from Route 3 below and leads to Thuya Garden. If you plan to walk up the terraces to the garden, explore it, and then return to your starting point, be sure to set aside at least three hours for the journey.

High Quality Setting & Experience

Anyone who has attempted to design or construct anything, especially when incorporating landscaping, will be impressed by the attention to detail and sensitivity to the coastal environment, including its geography and nature, showcased at Asticou Terraces. The stunning beauty of this place results from a collaboration between the natural environment and the dedication, talent, and vision of one man, Joseph Henry Curtis. My appreciation for the immense effort and countless hours, days, weeks, months, and years invested in this project cannot be overstated. I am certain that those who work diligently to maintain it and those who visit year after year share my feelings. We are among the many who applaud this creation and treasure, known as Asticou Terraces.
