Review & FAQ:
Found on the southern coast of Maine, the Wood Island Lighthouse was first constructed in 1808 and is now listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. The lighthouse was first established under the order of President Thomas Jefferson, but the original tower was replaced in 1839 due to deterioration. During the warmer months, visitors can go on a seasonal tour out to the island, which is offered by the Friends of Wood Island Lighthouse. During the cooler months, one of the best ways to view the lighthouse is from the Audubon Trail, which will take them to a vantage point right across the channel.
