Celebrating Maine Open Lighthouse Day!

9/19/2025

0 Comments

 

​Thank you to all who made the trek to Squirrel Point Light for Maine Open Lighthouse Day on Saturday. We welcomed over 150 visitors from 15 states and two countries, including Bath's Morse High School seniors taking part in a photo shoot, an enthusiastic group from Bowdoin College, ten awesome volunteers, and a handful of well-behaved pups.

One of our volunteers, a frequent guest of light keeper Clarence Skofield and family years ago, led tours of the keeper’s house and shared memories of his visits. Everyone enjoyed reading the well-told stories on the interpretive markers. And we finally got to put our new lighthouse stamp to use!

We appreciate all who came out and learned about what’s next in restoring this historic treasure. We're grateful to all the volunteers who shared their enthusiasm and knowledge with us: John, Barbara, Jennifer, Nick, Vicky, Marty, Carol, Chris, Lew and Caroline. If you weren’t able to visit but want to get involved, please be in touch.

Join us for Maine Open Lighthouse Day Saturday

Maine Open Lighthouse Day is Saturday and we hope you can stop by for a visit!
 
This annual statewide event offers the public the rare opportunity to visit more than a dozen historic Maine lights and attracts over 15,000  visitors each year.
 
Earlier this summer our awesome volunteer work crew tackled a long list of projects and we are ready! 
 
We are looking for a few more volunteers between 10 AM and 3 PM on Saturday to help greet the hundreds of visitors who make the trek.  Whether you can stay for an hour or three, we’d love to see you! Please contact Caroline at [email protected] for details and to sign up.
 
On Saturday, the keeper’s house and the boat house will be open to the public. The light tower will be closed while plans are made to repair the foundation – more soon.
  
For more information about the event, sponsored by the American Lighthouse Foundation, the U.S. Coast Guard, and the Maine Office of Tourism, visit https://lighthousefoundation.org/maine-open-lighthouse-day/.

Squirrel Point volunteers came together in late June to prep the lighthouse for season, and were rewarded by a view of Virginia, Maine's First Ship, motoring upstream. Thank you all!
