Proof: No I didn't take the pitcher but I did go here just forgot my phone.
What i found at the sites: I been here to fish and gone across the bridges but never knew what it was I really was a canal. know it a great place to fish there are not a lot of people there just a few fishers and some people just stop to get out of there cars. It a vary quite place there nothing that I could see the told me about the sites.
Why is it Historical sites: The Cumberland and Oxford Canal opened on June 1st of 1830. With great fanfare, the Officers of the canal corporation rode the canal boat "George Washington" from Portland to the basin at Sebago. After nearly a decade of work a route was now open from Portland some 40 to 50 miles inland. The original survey of the Cumberland and Oxford Canal made use of some ponds to limit the dug length to 15 miles. This route would have started closer to Sebago Lake Village and traveled east, meeting up with the constructed canal route above South Windham. This route was not followed.
