General
Mrs. Ernest B. Dane's extensive estate was among the first in Seal Harbor where a garden was planted. Originally it belonged to Mrs. George Cooksey who was responsible for the earliest development of this resort. This romantic ravine, leading down the cliffs high above the sea, was planted with every possible variety of fern which will endure the northern Maine climate.
