Niagra Falls to Arcadia NP Route Suggestions

In July we will travel from Niagara Fall/Buffalo to Arcadia NP/Bar Harbor.

The computer gave me a route of I-90 to the Boston area and then various interstates up to Bar Harbor. Not a real fan of using interstates all the time. What routing would you suggest?
Time is not an issue. We are a retired couple.

Is there a Northern route? Most of the maps seem to show secondary routes in that area. Good for RV travel?

Scenery, some museums and parks, and quite time is the goal. Although not quite sure how much quite time we will find.

    I like the northern route..I90 to I87 to Watertown,NY. Then state highway 11 across NY state to Champlain, NY. Cross over to Vt. on US 2 and check out VT. Stay on US2 all the way to NH. Continue to Gorham,NY. and go south on state route 16. Check out Mt. Washington. Go back to US2 and take it all the way to Bangor,Me and from there US Alt1 to Bar Harbor not the fasted but a very nice ride.

    Hug the coast on NY104 to US11 north at Maple View. Follow US 11 to US2 near Canadian border. US 2 crosses Lake Champlain. After you cross Lake Champlain, US2 turns south towards Grand Isle. We stayed at Apple Island RV Park in South Hero VT. US2 will take you to Bangor ME. Pumpkin Patch RV park in Bangor is nice if you need a stop before heading to Bar Harbor. There is a KOA in Canaan ME and Two Rivers RV Park in Skowhegan.
