Old Fort Western, built in 1754 and a National Historic Landmark, is America's oldest surviving wooden fort - a reminder of the great contest of cultures that dominated New England life 250 years ago. The Fort was built by the Kennebec Proprietors, a Boston-based land company seeking to settle the lands along the
Kennebec River that had been granted to the Pilgrims more than a century earlier.
