Abstract
Presents the hiking trails in Acadia National Park in the state of Maine as examples of highly crafted walking paths using stone, wood and ironwork. The main portion of the 120 miles of maintained trails predates 1916 when the park was established, and is the result of local village improvement associations. The paper describes the overall planning process for the rehabilitation of the trail system with emphasis on the treatment of historic stonework, which required relearning and preserving the traditional craftsmanship. The process included a research phase, an analysis of the existing conditions, treatment interventions and community involvement.
