Fort Baldwin, Military fort in Phippsburg, United States
Fort Baldwin contains three concrete artillery batteries positioned on Sabino Hill, overlooking the Kennebec River and the Atlantic Ocean entrance.
The United States Army Corps of Engineers constructed Fort Baldwin between 1905 and 1912 to strengthen coastal defenses near Bath Iron Works.
The fort preserves early 20th century military engineering methods through its concrete structures, gun emplacements, and observation tower built during World War II.
Visitors can reach the fort by following Sabino Head Road from the parking area or taking the 1.2-mile Perkins Farm Trail from the opposite direction.
The fort features four circular concrete Panama mounts, installed during World War II specifically to accommodate mobile 155mm artillery pieces.
