Fort Halifax relic preserved near Winslow in Maine
Webskanay April 9 1900 Fort Halifax at the confluence of the Kennebec and Sebasticook in Winslow Maine stands as a lone blockhouse from the 18th century wars with Indians. Maine Central Railway pushes restoration funding hoping to safeguard the crumbling woodwork while ownership lies with the Lockwood Cotton Mills of Waterville. The fort’s early history traces to 1754 1755 and 1757 campaigns and its role in securing control of the Kennebec. The remaining structure sits by the Sebasticook, a century and a half after its construction, with plans to repair fence and protect from fire.
