Rich in Colonial tradition, this cultural center of many beautiful homes and a substan, tial commercial and industrial life has many points of scenic and historic interest. Notably among these is old Fort Western (restored), originally established as a trading post in 1628 near its present site and called Cushnoc by the Indians. It was first visited by a white man in 1607. Trading was so highly profitable that the Pilgrims were able to pay the expense of the Mayflower expedition with furs from the Ken, nebec. It was here that the Benedict Arnold Maine's Capitol expedition gathered for a week in September, 1775, before starting for Quebec. traInIng school for the recruits to the' State On a commanding height affording a mag, Police force.
