Description

A dramatic wooden arm connects this keeper's house to this round, black and white lighthouse. It's a photographers' favorite in a town known as an artists' retreat. The former kitchen now houses a museum with artifacts of life at this light, as well as from Whitehead, Tenants Harbor and St. George Lights. Thomas and Lee Szelog, who were tenants in the renovated lighthouse from 1989-2003, described their experiences in "Our Point of View: Fourteen Years at a Maine Lighthouse." To reach the light, follow route 131 south to Port Clyde, then go left on Drift Inn Road and right on Marshall Point Rd, which ends at the light.

Marshall Point Light Station was built in 1832.
