  Now in the news in this neck of the woods as the Governor and associates want to pass this State Historic Site into private management.  While that is a good thing at least we know the place is getting attention.
  Fort Knox, in my opinion, is one of the best preserved coastal forts in the Country, but that's my opinion.  Work is still being done to restore parts of the Fort and it is actively getting attention.
  The opening of the new Penobscot Narrows Bridge, with an observatory at the top of the west pylon, on the right, is bringing more visitors to the Fort.
  Built of good Maine granite from Mount Waldo, upriver, and hauled piece by piece up the "road", center bottom of above photo, and hoisted by manpower or horsepower in to place; it's a wonder to behold.
  You can find more information at www.wikipedia.org  or simply "google" fort Knox Maine, there is a lot of information on this Fort.
