Please check local regulations for: Fort Baldwin State Historic Site
You can explore this impressive state historic site, built in the early 20th century, slightly later than its neighbor, Fort Popham. It was part of the Harbor Defense due to its privileged location overlooking the mouth of the Kennebec River. With three batteries, it was manned and equipped during both World Wars, though fortunately, it was never used and was finally decommissioned in 1949.
