Moleman

Acadia National Park in Maine. It was then called Lafayette National Park. The park was created by President Woodrow Wilson, as Sieur de Monts National Monument on July 8, 1916, administered by the National Park Service. On February 26, 1919, it became a national park, with the name Lafayette National Park in honor of the Marquis de Lafayette, an influential French supporter of the American Revolution. Legislation passed in 1929 authorized the government to accept additional gifts of land beyond the limits of Mount Desert Island. Almost immediately, the park was enlarged to include parts of the Schoodic Peninsula. At the request of the donor of the Schoodic land the park was renamed Acadia National Park on January 19, 1929. Acadia National Park is the only national park in New England and the first park on the east side of the Mississippi River. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acadia_National_Park [Added reference - McG] Feb 28 01, 9:21 AM
