Colonial Pemaquid was one of the earliest and most significant English settlements. It's located on Pemaquid Harbor overlooking John's Bay. Established around 1625, three forts sat on this site and you can explore excavations of their foundations and that of the settlement nearby. In 1908 a replica of the stone bastion that was part of Fort William Henry was constructed. Today, you can see interpretive panels inside its walls and climb to the top for a stunning view of the harbor, its islands and shoreline. The Friends of Colonial Pemaquid help maintain the site and bring lectures, living history and fun events to the place. Besides the fort, you can walk among the excavated stone foundations of the walls of the fort and village, see the Fort House, and visit the museum. Artifacts on display reflect colonial life and life of the Native Americans who lived here long before the English settled here.
