Ancient Pemaquid Forts and Battles Through History
Pemaquid Maine, a historic promontory, saw forts built in 1633 and 1692. Fort William Henry later became Fort Frederick, defending the coast until 1759. Colonial leaders, sieges by D'Iberville and Castine, and the ruins tell a long, turbulent story of English and French rivalry along the Kennebec River.
