Lighthouses in Maine on Route 1

One of the many joys of being in a coastal community is having many lighthouses to view in a day. If you enjoy touring lighthouses in Maine, the Crooked Steeple is your perfect location to stay when you are planning your next trip. Maine has over 65 historical lighthouses - 5 of which we are recommending because they are lighthouses in Maine on route 1 - which is where we are located off of. You could spend many days checking them all out - but we recommend you start here! (Descriptions from Wikipedia..)

Fort Point Lighthouse - The Fort Point Light, or Fort Point Light Station, is located in Fort Point State Park, in Stockton Springs, Maine. A lighthouse at this point has served as an active aid to navigation since 1835; the present lighthouse dates to 1857, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse - Rockland Harbor Breakwater Light is a historic lighthouse complex at the end of the Rockland Breakwater in the harbor of Rockland, Maine. Replacing a light station at Jameson Point (the northern end of the breakwater), the light was established in 1902, about two years after completion of the breakwater. Now automated, it continues to serve as an active aid to navigation. The light was added to the National Register of Historic Places as Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse on March 20, 1981.
