Fort Kent
Fort Kent Blockhouse
Built in 1839 as part of a military preparation for a would-be war over the long-standing border dispute between Maine and New Brunswick. The original cedar log blockhouse still stands and is listed as a National Historic Landmark. Museum displays include lumbering artifacts and equipment. Interpretive panels depict events of that era.
Fort Kent Historical Railroad Station
Opened in 1902, this station served as the northern terminus of the Fish River Railroad, and was key in the growth and development of the area. In 1979 the Fort Kent Railroad Station was retired, and just ten years later it was entered into the National Register of Historic Places. Today the station houses artifacts from the historic railroad and lumbering times of the community, and six gardens have been created on site for visitors’ enjoyment.
