Old Fort Western, a one-time British colonial outpost at the head of navigation on the Kennebec River in Augusta -- Maine's capital city. The fortification, built in 1754 during the French and Indian War, is now a local historic site owned by the city. Its main building, the only original element of the fort to survive, was restored in 1920 and now depicts its original use as a trading post. Photo by Carol Highsmith, 2017.
