Another Maine "touristy" destination!!!

Fort Williams & Portland Head Light
Cape Elizabeth, Maine

Fort Williams is a beautiful oceanside public park which has a rocky beach, an old stone mansion "castle," battle shelters from both World Wars, cannons, paths, a playground, baseball fields, a pond and the Portland Head Light which is a famous light house comissioned by George Washington. It is said to be the "most photographed and painted" light house in the world. It really is beautiful and I love coming here.










The harbor is beautiful, overlooking islands, sailboats, 3 other lighthouses and often times cruise ships!


Brady loves to look through these "big binoculars!"





The "castle"


The American Flag: a memorial to all who fought and served here for our country! Including my Great-Grandpa Harry Terrence
