Fort Edgecomb — Local services in Edgecomb

Great,well kept little fort off the Rout 1 highway, about 30-45 min drive from bath/brunswick. The coast leading up to the fort was nice,lots of places to stop, refuel or just window shop.

As the grass grows and hides the poop, I can't imagine how many kids are going to be sitting in/rolling in this potential hazard. I've lived in Maine my entire life and I've never seen an area with so...

Had Breakfast here this morning. Unfortunately the Fort was closed and wasn't allowed to enter. I don't recall it being open either as a kid, but if you are with someone you can lift either other up and...
