Lighthouse lovers, this one's for you. Here are some pro-tips for Maine Open Lighthouse Day on September 14.

Did you know this annual event draws over 15,000 visitors each year? It’s your chance to explore historic Maine lighthouses like never before. Here’s how:

⚓ Portland Head Light: Maine's oldest lighthouse will open its historic light tower and keeper’s house. Around 300 tickets are available for the tower climb, so arrive early to snag yours.

⚓ Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse: Reach this lighthouse via a picturesque breakwater walk at Southern Maine Community College. Don’t miss the chance to enjoy the harbor views from its light tower.

⚓ Bug Light: Small but mighty, Bug Light’s tower is open for exploration, offering breathtaking panoramic views of Portland's skyline.

⚓ Maine Maritime Museum - Bath, ME: Just an hour from Portland, this museum’s “Into the Lantern: A Lighthouse Experience” exhibit features a full-scale replica of Cape Elizabeth's Two Lights tower lantern room. This immersive exhibit allows you to experience the environment of the lantern room through a time-lapse video panorama of the Gulf of Maine that changes with the weather and seasons.

Pack your curiosity and your camera—Open Lighthouse Day is your ticket to Maine’s rich maritime history.
