Fort Williams
- Humphreys Road
- Cape Elizabeth, ME 04107
Built in 1898, Fort Williams is located in Cape Elizabeth on the same sight as Portland Head Light. A former United States Army fort, it was established for coastal defense and was part of the Harbor Defenses of Portland which protected Portland’s port and naval anchorage. The fort was garrisoned up until World War II. It was later redeveloped into what is now known as Fort Williams Park which is open to the public. (Photo courtesy of Instagram's @emmief_)
