Light Bright

On the easternmost point in the U.S., the West Quoddy Head Light in Lubec, Maine, still shines bright. At 49 feet, its third-order Fresnel lens (1858) beckons to boats in the Bay of Fundy. Just a short walk from the entrance of West Quoddy State Park, a visitors center/museum in the keeper’s house is open to the public; it’s just a short stroll from the entrance of West Quoddy State Park.
