After touring the grounds, explore Fort William Henry and don''t miss the view from the roof. As you spy through the telescope, imagine what it was like in the 17th century, guarding the waters to the Pemaquid River and beyond. Visitors can drop a line off the local dock as they fish or dine at the local restaurant. Repairs of the dock and Fort William Henry''s roof were made possible by the funds from Conservation loon license plates.

The Fort House was built in the last quarter of the 18th Century by Alexander Nickels Jr., the son of Fort Frederick''s last commander. Today the first floor of this building is open to the public. Inside you will find the period room or parlor which is decorated similar to how it may have been in the early 1800''s, a library, exhibit room and archaeological laboratory. The Fort House was renovated through the efforts of the Friends of Colonial Pemaquid.
