Isaac Stevens, a West Point graduate. The first task was to build the gun battery near the river. In 1853 the work began on the gran- ite foundations and walls but was never completed. The fort saw only two periods of military activity, when 24-50 troops were housed at the fort during the Civil War. 575 troops called the fort home during the Spanish- Ameri- can War. In neither conflict did the troops see combat action. The fort is Maine’s largest historic fort, featuring military architecture of the time and granite craftsman- ship. Know as Maine’s first granite fort, it stands today as it did at the point the construction ended. Inside the fort is the 150 year old wood fired Fort Knox oven, used to cook food for the troops stationed at the fort. On this 4th weekend, the oven was fired up and Miss Sarah L. Thomson poses with all the children who participated in the program, most of which are proudly wearing their pirate hats. (Abigail Nash photo) Rose was preparing samples of baked goods that may have been part of the soldiers diet at the time. This was the first time the oven had been used in 112 years. (Donation for samples were welcomed) The donations from this week- end’s activities will be used to feed the Civil War re-enactors during the Battle of Fort Knox, a reenactment event to be held at the fort from Fri- day through Sunday, July 23-25. It should be a real blast! In addition to the oven, spon- sored by the Maine Department of Conservation, the Friends of Fort Knox provided additional displays including a field medical tent out- fitted with equipment from the Civil War and a Parrot cannon firing. On this particular day, the cannon was fired each hour, with the echo of the blast heard up and down the river valley and the white smoke billow- ing into the air.
