What is the Whaleback in Damariscotta?
The Whaleback Shell Midden was more than 30 feet high, 1,650 feet long, and 1,320 to 1,650 feet wide and represented the remains thousands of years of Indian oyster feasts. A small portion survives, as much of it was processed into chicken feed between 1886 and 1891.
