III. Maine Lighthouses (Publicly Viewable)
Maine is home to 65 historic lighthouses, giving it the most of any state along the Atlantic coast. The story of Maine's lighthouses began with the nation itself; the oldest, Portland Head Light, was commissioned by President George Washington and first lit in 1791. These iconic sentinels were built to guide mariners through the state's notoriously treacherous and rugged coastline, which is characterized by rocky shores, dense fog, and countless islands. For centuries, keepers and their families lived in isolation, tending the lights that were crucial for the state's booming maritime industries, including fishing, shipping, and shipbuilding. While technology has led to the automation of all of Maine's lighthouses, they remain powerful and beloved symbols of the state's identity. Today, many are preserved by dedicated community groups and non-profits, drawing visitors from around the world to admire their steadfast beauty.
