1692 - Ft Mary Established at Saco Falls
Vine's town, Saco, takes shape
Unfortunately, the site was obliterated by construction of mill. There is note of the fort's foundations when the mills were being constructed, but no photographs were taken at the site. The photograph is of Ft Henry, which was built in Pemaquid. It is of the same design as Ft Mary. The construction of these two Forts so worried the natives in the region that they sued for peace.
