Step Back in Time: Fort Pownall, Stockton Springs, Maine

Erected by the Brits during the French and Indian War, Fort Pownall in Stockton Springs, Maine, served as a strategic halt to manage Native American turbulence in the Thirteen Colonies, alongside curbing French expansion. However, during the American Revolution, our own lot made off with the cannons and gunpowder.A regiment from the Continental Army rolled up soon afterwards, and they torched the blockhouse and dug up the trenches. The fort's earthworks and stone foundations still stand today, remaining worth a gander if you're a military history aficionado or curious folks like you about the French and Indian War.
