Asticou Terraces Memorial
The beginning of the ascent from the steps off Peabody Drive is gradual for a fair distance as it follows along the roadside. The path then takes a sharp turn to the left. You quickly are taken in by the majestic nature of the design and how it is one with this coastal location. This was a obvious labor of love by renowned Boston landscape architect Joseph Henry Curtis and it shows in every step and turn. Curtis was a long-time summer resident of Northeast Harbor and chose to give Asticou Terraces, Thuya Lodge, and Thuya Garden to the public for quiet reflection and enjoyment. This is the memorial created in his honor.
