Somesville Maine

The earliest settlers of Mount Desert Island established a community in the 1700's and called it Somesville. The Town of Mount Desert is actually comprised of the villages of Otter Creek, Seal Harbor, Northeast Harbor, Hall Quarry, Petty Marsh and Somesville. Little commercialization has taken place and as a result the quiet rural charm of the community has been preserved.

There has been little business development in Somesville, Maine. The village's economic base remains the fishing industry, but tourists are beginning to find this quaint, peaceful community.

The area is close to Acadia National Park and provides visitors with easy access to the Park. Visitors can also enjoy hiking trails, kayaking, canoeing, fishing, boat cruises, golf, tennis, biking, shopping, art and craft galleries, museums, carriage rides, theater performances and concerts.

Come to the quiet side of the Island and enjoy the unparalleled enjoyment of the peace and solitude found here.
