The St. John River at Fort Kent was the site for a few pioneering art projects about the international boundary, done by the artist Dennis Oppenheim, in 1968. He came to this northern boundary town to make the conceptual borderline visible in different ways. One work drew a three-mile long line on the river with a snow mobile. Of course that was in the winter, when the river was covered in ice and snow.
