Description
The Fort Knox State Historic Site and new Penobscot Narrows Observatory are outstanding examples of 19th and 21st Century engineering marvels.
The new Penobscot Narrows Observatory, which opened in May 2007, allows visitors to ride an elevator 420' feet above the Penobscot River, for 100-mile panoramic views of the Penobscot River Valley. The Observatory is part of the award winning cable stayed Penobscot Narrows Bridge that was constructed to replace the Waldo-Hancock Bridge.
Fort Knox represents one of the best preserved Civil War era forts in the country. This massive granite fortification overlooks the Penobscot River and is rich with interpretive displays.
