Winslow
Fort Halifax
Built in 1754, Fort Halifax was the oldest blockhouse in the United States before it was destroyed in 1987 by a flood. Today a reconstructed blockhouse stands, incorporating many timbers from the original, on the original site. The fort was garrisoned from 1754 to 1766, and proved a strategic location to protect the English Colonial settlements along the Kennebec River.
