OVERVIEW
Explore three historical lighthouses on Portland’s rocky coastline, including the oldest one in Maine. The views will be spectacular before leaving town, as you will pass architectural landmarks such as the Portland Observatory and New Arts District. Lighthouse aficionados will find even more to enjoy at Bug Light, a cast-iron lighthouse with Corinthian columns that was modeled after an ancient Greek monument. Only 26 feet high, it was built in 1875 and became known as The Bug because of its small size. Close by lies Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse, a sparkplug-style lighthouse made of brick on a cylindrical cast-iron caisson. It was built in 1897 in response to the many vessels that ran aground on the dangerous ledge there. A bit further south, you will find Maine’s oldest lighthouse. First illuminated in 1791, Portland Head Light now contains a museum that you may browse.
