Eagle Island State Historic Site [ME]
The Eagle Island State Historic Site preserves the summer home of Admiral Robert Peary (1856-1920), who after his 1909 expedition, claimed to be the first man to reach the geographic North Pole. The grounds contain gardens originally tended by Peary's wife, Josephine.
The site offers house tours, a hiking trail, gardens, and picnicking opportunities. The site is entirely inaccessible by wheelchair.
