A Visit to Wood Island Lighthouse, Maine



In the video above, Friends of Wood Island Lighthouse chairman Brad Coupe invites everyone to come and visit the lighthouse.

Following an American Lighthouse Foundation board of directors meeting today in Biddeford Pool, Maine, a group board members and a few others took a boat ride out to Wood Island Lighthouse, courtesy of the Friends of Wood Island Lighthouse.



The lighthouse, a 47-foot stone tower built in 1839, is currently under restoration. When that's done, there are plans to restore the keeper's house.






The Friends of Wood Island Lighthouse run boat tours to the island three days a week in July and August. If you're in the area and you love lighthouses, you need to put this at the top of your list.
