The Burnt Island Lighthouse , located at the Boothbay Harbor’s western entrance, was constructed back in the year 1821 and is operated today by the State of Maine’s Department of Marine Resources. The restored Burnt Island Light Station buildings today act as a local living history museum featuring interpreters dressed in period clothing portraying a family who were once the keepers of the lighthouse. Visitors can explore the natural history walk at the lighthouse along the site’s perimeter trail, as well as learn about marine resources in Maine and the methods and efforts to both conserve and harvest them.
