Verona Island

Few communities in Maine have a history as closely tied to the Penobscot River as Verona Island. This small town occupies an island at Penobscot Narrows, where the tidal river narrows between the mainland shores of Prospect and Bucksport. U.S. Route 1 crosses the water here on the Penobscot Narrows Bridge, whose western tower contains a public observatory. On the Prospect shore stands Fort Knox, a granite fort begun in 1844 to defend the river approach. The setting links inland Maine with the waters of Penobscot Bay.
