Fernald Point and Saint-Sauveur
A Wabanaki shell midden and a French mission that lasted weeks.
Private land; view from Flying Mountain.
Wabanaki people camped and fished here long before 1613, when French Jesuits founded the mission of Saint-Sauveur. That July Samuel Argall sailed up from Virginia, destroyed it, killed three, and carried off about twenty. Mostly private land today.
