Fort McClary - Kittery Point, Maine
History Buff In Your Family? A Must See!
We stumbled upon
Fort McClary on a return trip to Massachusetts from Maine - we decided to go the scenic route and found ourselves at the fort during a Revolutionary War reenactment!
Complete with cannon & musket fire alongside an active camp - we really enjoyed our unexpected visit.
This fort has been manned during 5 wars since it was occupied in 1969: the American Revolution, War of 1812, Civil War, Spanish-American War and World War I. For more on the Forts history
