Fort Knox, now Fort Knox State Park or Fort Knox State Historic Site, is located on the western bank of the Penobscot River in the town of Prospect, Maine, about 5 miles (8.0 km) from the mouth of the river. Built between 1844 and 1869, it was the first fort in Maine built entirely of granite; most previous forts used wood, earth, and stone.

As a virtually intact example of a mid-19th century granite coastal fortification, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1969 and declared a National Historic Landmark on December 30, 1970. Fort Knox also serves as the entry site fo

  • Форт-Нокс (англ. Fort Knox) — форт на западном берегу реки Пенобскот, расположенный в 8 км от устья, с 1970 года — национальный исторический памятник. Построенный в 1844—1869 годах, форт стал первым, построенным из гранита, а не дерева, на территории Мэна. Гранит добывался на горе в 7 км от места строительства. Название этот форт получил в честь Генри Нокса. Сегодня Форт Нокс находится на территории парка в городе . (ru)
