Portland Head Lighthouse
Built in 1791, the Portland Head Lighthouse is the oldest lighthouse in Maine and serves as a reminder of the state’s long maritime history. Originally running on whale oil, it has been modernized over the years and is still in use today as an active aid to navigation. Visitors can climb the spiral staircase to the top of the lighthouse for stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean.
Aside from its practical purpose, the Portland Head Lighthouse is also known for its role in several historical events, including the War of 1812 and the Civil War. It has also been featured in many works of art and literature, making it a popular destination for tourists and history enthusiasts. Today, it stands as a symbol of resilience and serves as a reminder of the important role lighthouses played in guiding ships and preserving the coastline. A visit to the Portland Head Lighthouse is a must for anyone looking to learn more about Maine’s maritime heritage.
