Naval Group Support Activity, Winter Harbor
Naval Group Support Activity, Winter Harbor, Military facility in Winter Harbor, Maine, US
The Naval Group Support Activity occupies an area with granite shorelines and encompasses operational buildings including the prominent Rockefeller Hall structure.
The facility began operations in 1935 as a radio station with Chief Radioman Max Gunn leading an initial team of eleven personnel.
The installation transformed into the Schoodic Education and Research Center after 2002, focusing on scientific research within Acadia National Park.
The complex maintained high frequency direction finding capabilities through an AN/FRD-10A Circularly Disposed Antenna Array until operations ceased in September 2001.
The station's relocation resulted from negotiations between the Navy and John D Rockefeller Jr, who participated in developing Acadia National Park infrastructure.
