The Eagle Hill Institute is located on the eastern coast of Maine and is perhaps best known for its advanced natural history science summer seminars and fall workshops, the first of which was ofered in 1987. It has been hosting the annual Northeast Natural History Science Conference since 2011. Its commitments expanded over time to include the publication of a number of peer-reviewed scientific journals. It maintains a natural history and art history library, hosts occasional resident scholars, and hosts chamber concerts, lecture, and discussion Forums.
The Eagle Hill Institute is located on the densely forested summit of Eagle Hill, the highest part of Dyer Point, the peninsula between the Schoodic Point section of Acadia National Park and Petit Manan National Wildlife Refuge. Trails lead from the summit of Eagle Hill to a number of overlooks offering inspirational views of the coast of Maine, with its rocky and evergreen-lined shore and its many islands, bays, and peninsulas. This setting is very conducive to scholarly and educational pursuits.
