Pemaquid Point Lighthouse

7/6/2017

Commissioned by John Quincy Adams in 1827, this lighthouse has the Fisherman’s Museum on the first floor in the Keepers House.  The museum contains artifacts of local maritime history, as well as items from the lighthouse itself. 
The Pemaquid Point Lighthouse Park is located at the entrance to Muscongus Bay and Johns Bay, in the town of Bristol. The Town of Bristol purchased the park property from the Coast Guard in 1940 with the exception of the light tower. Pemaquid Point Lighthouse Park is managed by the Bristol Parks Commission. It is the lighthouse on the Maine State Quarter, making it the first lighthouse to be featured on a piece of US currency. 

​Very dog friendly, the park has lots of picnic tables overlooking the water, making it an ideal place for lunch and a view.
