Pemaquid Archeological Site, Archaeological site and fort in Bristol, United States
Excavated stone foundations and cellar holes at Pemaquid reveal the layout of a colonial settlement along the Maine coast.
The site experienced multiple reconstructions between 1676 and 1759, with three different forts built to protect English territories from French and Native American conflicts.
Archaeological investigations at Pemaquid have uncovered numerous artifacts that document daily life of English settlers and interactions with Wabanaki communities.
The state historic site opens seasonally from mid-May through mid-October, featuring guided tours and interpretive displays about colonial life.
Fort William Henry, constructed in 1692 at this location, stands as New England's first stone fortification, marking a shift from wooden defensive structures.
