2010 Maine Open Lighthouse Day

New England Lighthouse enthusiasts will want to check out Maine's annual Open Lighthouse Day, which takes place on Sept. 18, 2010.

For this event, the United States Coast Guard, in partnership with the Maine Office of Tourism and the American Lighthouse Foundation will open 25 ocean, river and island lighthouses for the public to visit and tour.

Open Lighthouse Day is an opportunity to visit many of Maine’s historic lights not normally open to the public. Most light houses will be open to visitors from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

A full list of accessible light houses and details about each destination can be found at www.lighthouseday.com.
