Fort McClary which commands a view of the river. The fort, now partly in ruins, was built in 1690 and called first Pepperell's Fort and later Fort William. The present name was given at the time of
the Revolutionary War. The fort was garrisoned again during the Civil War, extensive repairs and additions being made. It is hexagonal in shape. The chief feature of interest now is the old blockhouse with overhang, which was built in 1812. - Maine: A Guide 'Down East', Tour 1a, pg. 250.
