As with most of the towns that I’ve visited in Maine, Soldier Pond is one of the most beautiful places I’ve seen. Although considered a part of the town of Wallagrass, Soldier Pond has a clear identity of its own.

In northern Aroostook County, Soldier Pond can be found along Highway 11, straddling the Fish River, roughly midway between Fort Kent to the north, and Eagle Lake to the south.

	Although the historical record indicates that the Aroostook War was a bloodless event, as you turn east off of Highway 11 and approach the bridge over the Fish River, you will find a sign marking a Soldiers Grave from the Aroostook War 1838

Another shot of the Soldiers Grave, this one showing a slightly different view of Soldier Pond across the river.
