Review:

At Penobscot Bay, the Owls Head Lighthouse stands as an ever-present aid to nautical navigation. The lighthouse was built in 1825 and has since then been the eyes and ears of captains when weather conditions are poor. Perched at 30 feet above sea level, the Owls Head Lighthouse is owned by the U.S. Coast Guard but is currently licensed by the American Lighthouse Foundation. Travelers can visit the lighthouse via the Owls Head State Park and explore the interpretive center established by the American Lighthouse Foundation. Hear stories about the lighthouse’s storied, and sometimes spooky past, while exploring the well-kept keeper’s house.
