Wood Island Lighthouse

The first Wood Island Light was established in 1808, but the station was rebuilt several times during its long history. The station sits on a small island off the mouth of the Saco River. The lighthouse is owned by the Coast Guard but is leased to Friends of Wood Island Lighthouse, a chapter of the American Lighthouse Foundation. You can find out about tours at the Wood Island Lighthouse website.
