A Little History

Native Americans…

Evergreens Campground lived on these premises for thousands of years. Many of their artifacts and fireplaces have been found here, and the Maine State Museum has conducted archaeological digs on these grounds.

Petroglyphs

Ledge rocks on the opposite shore have Native American carvings (also called petroglyphs) said to be the best east of the Mississippi.

The image below was taken by the Maine State Museum after the rock etchings had been highlighted in chalk. Click on the image for a larger view.

Evergreens Campground

1775

Benedict Arnold’s men came up the Kennebec River on their way to Quebec and camped here at what is now the Evergreens Campground.

The Evergreens Campground is listed as a Historic Site and artifacts are on display in the restaurant (All artifacts found, are the property of The Evergreens).
