Ledgelawn Cemetery is a historic cemetery in Bar Harbor, Maine, United States. Established in 1903, several prominent early business owners, notable summer residents, and other townspeople are buried in the cemetery. The need for a new cemetery was reported in the Bar Harbor Record on February 24, 1887: Twenty years ago, the present place of burial answered every purpose, but now it is quite inadequate. Besides being too small, it is not located in the proper place and its unsightliness is a constant source of dread to the superstitious and an unpleasant reminder to those whose friends have here found their final resting place.

Village Green is an urban park in Bar Harbor, Maine, United States. Located centrally in the town, compared to the coastal Agamont Park about 0.18 miles (0.29 km) to the north, Firefly Lane bounds it to the north, Main Street to the east, Mount Desert Street (Maine State Route 3) to the south and Kennebec Street to the west. (Main Street is also Route 3 up until it reaches the park from the south. It then turns onto Mount Desert Street.) The park has a free public Wi-Fi network.The town's fire and police departments are located on Firefly Lane, across from the Green.Although the park is not fenced, its six paved entrances are at Main Street and Mount Desert Street, Mount Desert Street and Kennebec Street, Kennebec Street, two on Firefly Lane, and one at Main Street and Firefly Lane. The bisecting paths encourage pedestrians to pass through the park, instead of walk around it.A granite bench, in memory of John Whittington Roberts (1870–1904), is in the middle of the Main Street side, beside the original 1896 cast-iron street clock (moved to this location in 1905), while a dog fountain is beside the Main and Mount Desert entrance. A memorial also stands on its Mount Desert side, just beyond the fountain. A bandstand stands near the park's northern (Firefly Lane) side. A 17th-century tiered Italian fountain with 21 spigots, donated by John Callendar Livingston in 1909, is in the park's southwestern corner. It was restored in 1992 by sculptor Clark Fitz-Gerald after not being functional for thirty years.Bar Harbor's Island Explorer buses leave and drop off passengers on the park's western edge, at Kennebec Street.
