July 23 – 25, 2010

On the west bank of the Penobscot River, in an area known as the Penobscot Narrows, sits one of the best preserved fortifications on the New England seacoast. A treasure for the State of Maine. In late July of 2010, this treasure will be host to an American Civil War encampment and living history event, the likes of which has never been seen in Maine.

The Battle at Fort Knox is building to include a naval battle in the river as well as Union and Confederate infantry and artillery on shore and plenty of civilian activity as well. In conjunction with the Bucksport Festival across the river, The Battle of Fort Knox is attempting to do something unique.

A great deal of behind the scenes planning is underway. Some sections of this website are still developing. Come back soon for details on how you can get involved!
