Fort Point
This light was intended to help boats bound for Bangor, a lumbering port in the mid-19th century. It was named for nearby Fort Pownall, built to guard colonists against French incursions. Here the two-story keeper's dwelling is attached to the light tower by a short, cute enclosed passageway, and a quaint pyramidal bell tower still stands. The design evokes an 18th century colonial fort and is on the National Register of Historic Places. It's located in a state park that includes what remains of Fort Pownall and is the residence of its park ranger. Grounds are open daily, 9 - sunset.
Fort Point Lighthouse was built in 1836.
