At the Eagle Island State Historic Site, on an island in Maine's Casco Bay and part of the town of Harpswell. It was the site of the retirement home of the polar explorer Admiral Robert Peary (1856-1920).
“….We are children of these accidental, but
nevertheless, communions.
“The loon wakes me. Sound of one voice
and another that answers,
tremolo saturating the August air
for miles….”
— From “Notes From Eagle Island {Maine},’’ by L.R. Berger, a Contoocook, N.H.-based poet
