Awesome old military fort πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ, built into the side of Maines rugged granite coast πŸ₯Άβ„οΈβ˜ οΈπŸŒ²πŸŒ¬πŸŒ¬β€¦. There’s 3 separate batteries built in a terrace formation culminating with the Hawley Battery at the summit. You can stand atop each of the 3 Batteries and sneak peaks of the ocean 🌊. The entire time your there, you’ll hear the constant sound of waves crashing in the beach🏝, which is pretty awesome πŸ€©πŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ƒπŸ‘‚πŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠ. In addition to the rustic setting and spectacular views, you’ll also find old brick fireplaces in some of the rooms that are still perfectly intact πŸ”₯😜. We’ve seen a lot of these old forts from Maine to Florida, and this one ranks in the top 3 on the awesomeness spectrum 😎. Each Battery is flanked by 2-3 massive gun turret, which oif all those guns were blazing at once, it would be a sight to behold 😍. After, you can take a short drive across the bay and tour Fort Popham State Historic site. So if your in Bath, Maine passing they and have time to drive down route 209 to Phippsburg, Maine….it’s πŸ’― worth the trip πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ€©πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ€©πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ€©πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ. But if you need piano movers near Bath, Maine who cover the entire Northeast and down to Florida, Call Liberty Bell Moving & Storage of Maine today for quotes on...

Have a great time everytime we go! I do photography and love bringing clients here for Halloween/fall themed shoots😊 There's some cool little tunnels that go through the forts as well as a very well maintained trail you can hike down to the ocean or follow it to the end- which I've never done haha its especially beautiful in the fall, the array of colors is breathtaking.

My wife and son and I had a lot of fun here! Great view of the bay out to the ocean and nearby islands, boats, docks, birds. Beautiful on a 78 degree day with no wind. This Fort Baldwin is a bit of a hike, but there are at least 5 forts that we saw. Two were not accessible and a lot of random ceiling pieces were missing so beware of that. Really cool interesting and a little bit creepy...
