For over a quarter-century the Friends of Acadia Benefit Auction has provided essential support for programs that directly benefit Acadia National Park. From its memorable beginnings as a fine art sale at the Northeast Harbor Neighborhood House to last year’s 25th Anniversary, this has been a special event that strengthens the personal connection each of us feels for this magnificent place. Acadia is unique among national parks, having been created by private donations of land by farsighted individuals. The legacy of private support continues, and today the great majority of contributions for our work comes from people like you who treasure Acadia. For 29 years, preserving this jewel of a park has been the sole focus of Friends of Acadia, and we are grateful to each person whose stewardship makes it possible. The Benefit Auction Chair Courtney Urfer Thompson and committee volunteers have been working throughout the year to make this a spectacular evening. We appreciate the volunteers, Benefit Patrons, and Business Sponsors who make the Benefit Auction possible. A special “thank you” goes to the many artists, individuals, and businesses who contributed the fantastic auction items in this preview catalog. By participating in the Benefit Auction—by bidding on live or silent auction items at the event, bidding online until August 18, sending in an absentee bid, or by simply attending the event or making a donation in support of it—you will make a real and lasting difference in the protection of Acadia. We will use proceeds from the Benefit Auction to support new and ongoing programs in Acadia that protect natural and cultural resources, engage youth, and contribute to a quality visitor experience in the park. Funds contributed during this year’s Paddle Raise will help Acadia National Park restore historic vistas along the carriage roads and park loop road—see details on page 10. Let’s all celebrate Acadia this evening! Through your purchases and your presence, you are continuing the legacy of preservation for our beloved park. With appreciation, David R.

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Salzburg is the birthplace of Wolfgang Mozart and was the filming location for much of the beloved musical. You and 3 guests will stay at Schloss Leopoldskron, dubbed the “Sound of Music” palace because it was the site of several outdoor scenes in the film and its “Venetian Room” was completely replicated to be used as a setting for the ballroom scene. Built in 1736 and surrounded by 17 acres of manicured grounds, Schloss Leopoldskron features magnificent views of the mountains and of the fortress. In 1918, the Schloss had fallen into disrepair and was purchased by Max Reinhardt, Europe’s most famous theater director and co-founder of the Salzburg Festival. He renovated the Schloss and added several opulent rooms. Today, Schloss Leopoldskron is home to the Salzburg Global Seminar. Karl Lagerfeld chose Schloss Leopoldskron for his December 2014 Chanel fashion show.

Gillionville Plantation is the oldest Georgia plantation under original family ownership and considered one of the finest shooting establishments in the United States. The plantation is a refuge where the spirit of the past abides and family and friends can take home memories that last a lifetime. Located just west of Albany, GA, the rolling, wooded property has been groomed continuously for more than a century to enhance its native quail population. The plantation lodge was the first and one of the finest architectural achievements the late Edward Vason Jones, a specialist in 18th and 19th century southern architecture, known for his renovation work within the White House and at the U.S. State Department. Life at Gillionville Plantation revolves around quail hunting. Just as it was a century ago, quail shooting is done from horseback and mule drawn hunting wagons. Hunting parties enjoy the personal attention of scouts, wagon drivers and professional dog handlers who direct braces of well-trained bird dogs from Gillionville’s kennels. Following each day’s shoot, liveried servants meet guests at the door of Gillionville’s plantation house. After cocktails and exquisite hors ‘d oeuvres, guests are served a glorious dinner prepared by our gourmet chef. All accommodations & meals are provided. The pool is available seasonally.

Rockefeller Jr. For many of us, the carriage roads and loop road figure prominently in our enjoyment of Acadia. When the roads were designed by John D. Rockefeller Jr., they featured scenic vistas that afforded views from picturesque to outright stunning—showcasing the mountains, ocean, beaches, streams, and forests of Acadia. Today, many of these are overgrown, with trees and shrubs obstructing the views and a rich cultural resource compromised. Acadia National Park’s plans call for the restoration and protection of scenic vistas—more than 100 vistas are scheduled for restoration in 2015 alone—but funding for this program is difficult to secure and sustain. Your gift will ensure that the park can preserve this unique cultural landscape so that current and future generations may be ”restored to themselves in nature”—just as so many of us have been. Your gift will help restore and maintain the magnificent vistas on Acadia’s historic carriage and motor roads.
