New England is a treasure house filled with many different types of spiritual, cultural, historical, and other resources. Included in this treasure trove is a rich mixture of places steeped in history - the history of this region, the history of the nation.
One such place is Fort Western, on Bowman Street in Augusta, Maine - the oldest log fort in the United States. The fort was originally built by the Kennebec Proprietors, a land company from Boston as part of an initiative to promote settlement in the area of what is now the capital of Maine. The fort and store are maintained as a museum, and are open to the public during the summer months.
