Destination Fort Popham - Georgetown, Maine

I’m sure many of you have been to Popham Beach State Park. Perhaps some of you may have even traveled a little bit further down to Fort Popham. The fort was built during the Civil War but neither the beach nor the fort tell the story of the original settlement. According to the Smithsonian, the Popham Colony began in 1607 when a large group of men and boys set sail from England in order to attempt to profit from the abundance of natural resources the new world possessed.
