Pemaquid Point Lighthouse Gets a Makeover

lighthouse

While we were in Maine for the weekend, we found that the Pemaquid Point Lighthouse is undergoing major restorations which are scheduled to finish up this week. The historic lighthouse needed granite repositioned, mortar replaced, new stucco and it will receive a new coat of paint. This is first major restoration of the lighthouse since it was built in 1835. The original lighthouse was built in 1827, but had to be replaced in 1835 due to mortar erosion. The Pemaquid Point Lighthouse is the lighthouse that appears on the Maine state quarter, and it is on the National Register of Historic Places. There is a wonderful view of the ocean and visitors can climb the staircase that leads to the lantern room. If you're planning to visit Maine, plan on making this one of your stops

Sandra,

What a great lighthouse, I have seen just lighthouses on the movies, but not in reality, I am wondering what it is the feeling to see one of those. As soon as I finish with some stuff here, I will send you an email.

Sandra--Are you going back to take another photo when it is completed? Bring sweats as I hear it can be cold near the shore in Maine! :)

We will be going back up to Maine this weekend, but won't be on the coast. There is a huge balloon festival that we want to catch. Besides the weather is expected to be even colder this weekend...no shorts for me!
