Built in 1808, Fort Scammel is located on House Island, a private island in Casco Bay. Located on the west side of the 24 acre island, the three-bastion granite fort was designed for harbor defense and boasted parapets, munitions bunkers, and a parade ground. In 1954 the fort was bought by private owners to prevent it from being dismantled. (Photo courtesy of Instagram's @air_humps)
