Summary

[edit]
Description

An HDR using Photomatrix Pro and the preset 'painterly'. Taken in Deering Oaks Park in Portland, Maine.

Duiring King William's War, Benjamin Church helped defend the British settlers on this site on September 1689 against Canadiens, and tribes of the Wabanaki Confederacy.

The City of Portland largely acquired the land from the Deering, Preble, and Fessenden families in 1879 as part of the rebuilding following the devastating 1866 fire. Deering Oaks Pond at one time filled and drained with the ocean tides; it was naturally connected to Back Cove until altered to suit roadways in the late 19th century. Deering Oaks also hosts the city's monument to the Spanish-American War, a casting of The Hiker by Theo Alice Ruggles Kitson. During the winter, one can ice skate on the frozen pond, and until the late 1990s, paddle boats could be rented during the summer season to explore the confines of the pond and enjoy the scenery.
