Passamaquoddy Pleasant Point Reservation, Indigenous reservation in Washington County, United States.
Passamaquoddy Pleasant Point Reservation occupies a peninsula bordered by water on multiple sides and serves as home to approximately 700 residents. The community maintains its own schools, health facilities, youth centers, and emergency services to support daily life.
The Passamaquoddy people have inhabited this land for over 10,000 years following the end of glacial periods. Their ongoing presence has shaped the identity of this region across millennia.
The Waponahki Museum holds objects and documents of the Passamaquoddy people while supporting efforts to keep their language alive through reference materials. Visitors see how the community maintains connection to its roots through these institutions.
The reservation is accessible via US Route 1, which passes along the coast and marks the boundary. Since this is an active residential community, visitors should be respectful of privacy and local norms.
A pink granite marker along US Route 1 marks the exact point where this reservation sits on the 45th parallel. This location is precisely halfway between the Equator and the North Pole.
