The first naval engagement of the Revolution was fought off-shore here in 1775, five days before the Battle at Bunker Hill.
Fort O'Brien (Fort Machias) was built in 1775 and destroyed by the British in
the same year. This state historic site is one of few Maine forts active
during three wars - the American Revolution, War of 1812 and Civil War.
It was refortified in 1777 and destroyed once again by the British in 1814.
Well-preserved earthworks which overlook Machias Bay were erected for a
battery of guns in 1863.
