Located next to Spring Point Ledge Light 🕯️ and on the campus of Southern Maine Community College, this deteriorating and partially fenced off historical fort can be a bit of a challenge to explore. There is a path through a small woods that takes you to one part of the fort. You can get past the fence and walk along the top 🔝 at your own risk. It looks like there was a partial collapse on one side of the fort. It doesn't help that a moron urinated on one of the walls when there are porta potties nearby.
There are benches in one area but it is so overgrown you cannot use them.
There are visible attempts to save the fort. It was built in 1808 and was in service from the War of 1812 through WW2. The original officer's quarters, barracks and fire 🚒 station are still in use today.
For history buffs, not the historical movie 🎥 review channel on YouTube, it may be worth visiting. The fort has nice views. If you take your kids, keep an eye 👁️ on them!
