Fort Preble - Historical place in South Portland - Bunker Lane, USA

It was a neat historical sight along a beautiful coastal scenery. Only wish that it wasn't foggy & drizzling rain during our visit.

Amazing piece of history. Feels great to sit and think about what could have been and what the men and women who served here experienced.

This Fort is located on the campus of SMCC and parking is limited. If school is in session, there would likely not be any parking available as it’s all campus parking. We enjoyed walking around the area and seeing everything. There is also a lighthouse here at the site.

A great spot for ocean views, and a small amount of history. For someone who knows what they're looking for, I'm sure that the remains of the fort are very interesting. there isn't a lot in the way of signage or anything to tell you what you're looking at. However, the walk down to the lighthouse is great fun.

Plan to take your time to enjoy this area. I would like to see it kept cleaner and scrub grasses mowed to provide more space for flower gardens, however the wild flowers that grow in the unmaintained area are rather pretty. The light house can be viewed from several vantage points and there is quite the panorama of the boats on the water as well. The area looks neglected in places but that may be part of its charm. The parking is limited but if you are up to the walk you can park at Buglight or Willard beach parking lots and spend time wandering around.

It was amazing to see. No parking around. There is a College near it. We couldn't park so we didn't stay for long. We where geocaching around the area. It has a nice walk way too.

Beautiful light house built in the 1800s. Was part of an active fort from the War of 1812 through the Second World War. Very easy to reach, but you’ll have to park in the community college to access the lighthouse. You can really take some great pictures of the lighthouse from the nearby beach area or along the rocky path leading to the lighthouse.

A wonderful place to explore, especially with family and kids. You can walk out to the light house, look out the windows of the old fort, or travel down to the beach over the rocks. You can also go upstairs to get an even better view of the area. From here, you can see Peaks Island and other forts.
