Desert Island, Maine. Theisland has carriage roads built in the1920s by John D. Rockefeller, whichprovide a picturesque way to travelaround the park. He built many of theroads on his own land, subsequentlydonated to the government to becomepark property. Local residents,including George Wharton PepperH’22, opposed portions of thecarriage roads because they felt at thetime that the roads would lead tosignificantly increased access to thepark, which would diminish itsinherent beauty. (Back then, the parkwas named Lafayette National Park;the name was changed to AcadiaNational Park in 1929). In response,Rockefeller temporarily haltedconstruction on the roads; however,about 10 years later, major portionswere completed.Let’s keep in touch on Facebook, ourLafayette College Class of 1988 page,and the alumni section of lafayette.edu!1989Marguerite Valinoti White63 Nicholson DriveChatham, NJ 07928(973) 635-1110margueritewhite@comcast.netPresident: Erin Bass-GoldbergFund Manager: John T.
