This past weekend, Libby and I traveled to Bar Harbor. On Saturday I visited with Ray Strout who owns a frame shop off Cottage Street. Ray is also an avid collector of memorabilia from Maine's past. In an earlier telephone conversation, I learned that Bar Harbor had a third trotting park -- Eden Fairgrounds. Two other trotting parks existed in Bar Harbor: (1) Robin Hood Park located where today we find Jackson Lab and (2) a trotting park that today is the fairway of the fifth hole at Kebo Valley. This post provides you with the location of Eden Fairgrounds. Hopefully with a bit more research we can provide you with more details. I appreciate Ray's willingness to share his collection with others.
