The Friends of Colonial
Pemaquid welcome you to Colonial Pemaquid, a National Historic
Landmark, owned by the State of Maine, where you will find more
than a wonderful view of the Atlantic Ocean, Pemaquid Harbor,
and Johns Bay.
Colonial Pemaquid is
situated on a point of land at the mouth of the Pemaquid River
in the town of Bristol. Extensive archaeological excavations
have unearthed 14 foundations of 17th- and 18th-century structures
and the officers' quarters for Fort William Henry and Fort Frederick.
A museum displays hundreds of artifacts found on the site, dating
from prehistoric times through the colonial period. Musket balls,
coins, pottery, and early hardware are among items of interest.
The site includes a reconstruction of Fort William Henry, which
also houses museum exhibits.
