Bass Harbor Head

Built in 1858, this is one of the most picturesque and frequently photographed Maine lights. It sits atop a rugged, pink rock cliff surrounded by dark evergreens. Located on the southern end of Mt. Desert Island, it's a cylindrical tower attached to the keeper's house by a short, enclosed passageway. Grounds are open all year but a Coast Guard family now lives in the keeper's house and asks that their privacy be respected. It's visible from the end of Lighthouse Road in Bass Harbor or by cruise or plane. Get your Lighthouse Passport stamped at the Tremont Historical Society, Country Store Museum, 4 Granville Road, Bass Harbor. Hours are Monday and Wednesday, 1 to 4, July 1 through October 12.
