The Maine Lighthouse Museum welcomes visitors to come and learn about the essential role played by lighthouses and lighthouse personnel, all around the coast of the US. The museum is home to a wonderful collection of lighthouse, lifesaving and coastguard artifacts, including vintage lighthouse lights and lenses, huge brass bells and a wealth of documents and photographs which tell the story of the history of American lighthouses. Many of the oldest lighthouses in the country are located in Maine. There is also an interesting gift shop where you can buy photos, prints and souvenirs, most of which have been made by local Maine crafters.
