Maine's capital and sixth-largest city grew from the community surrounding Fort Western on the banks of the Kennebec River. The restored fort, built in 1754, is the oldest surviving wooden fort in New England. You can visit the fort and see costumed interpreters performing military and domestic chores. The elegant State Capitol (1829) with its granite dome was designed by Charles Bulfinch, the architect of the U.S. Capitol in Washington. Self-guided tours are available. Nearby, the Maine State Museum offers displays ranging from archaeology to marine engineering. You can also tour Blaine House. Built in 1833 by one-time presidential candidate James G. Blaine, the mansion has served as the official residence of Maine's governors since 1919. The surrounding park-like grounds were designed by noted landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted.
