Description
Located west of oceanside York, Maine, 691 foot Mt. Agamenticus was home to an alpine ski area for about a decade. In recent years, the town has converted the mountain into a four season recreation spot.
The early years of development on Mt. Agamenticus centered around detection. The first Mt. Agamenticus fire tower was constructed in 1918, standing for some two decades. Circa 1940, the mountain was scheduled to be turned into a recreational area, however the onset of World War II resulted in the construction of an army radar installation on the summit.
In 1948, a $300,000 winter sports development was proposed on Mt. Agamenticus. Fifteen years later, a $250,000 ski area was proposed by Frederick Wakelin and William Pickering.
