Blue Sky at Owls Head Light in Maine

Owls Head Light is a wonderful place to

visit when you're in Maine's mid coast area.  Not far from Rockland, this sentinel was first lit in 1826. 

A keeper's house was built next to the lighthouse, but it no longer serves as a Coast Guard residence.

 Many boats come and go from nearby Rockland harbor.

 This is the quintessential Maine shoreline.

 A gorgeous and somewhat windy day was perfect for sailing.

 Some say the light keeper's house is haunted.

 Camden hills in the background.

 The light underwent a renovation not too long ago; thus the bright white paint.

 The former residence is now home to a small museum.

 Certainly a well loved and revered pet!

 Visit the nearby Owls Head Transportation Museum while you're in the area.

 Recreation abounds.

 There are picnic tables in this area; a great spot for lunch!

Lighthouses are such an important part of our American history.  Stand proud Owls Head Light!
