Pemaquid Point Preservation

Pemaquid Point Lighthouse, which was built in 1835, is one of the nation’s most recognizable and beloved coastal beacons, and is the only lighthouse ever to be featured on Federal currency (Maine state quarter).

The lighthouse is owned by the United States Coast Guard and licensed to the American Lighthouse Foundation who is responsible for the historic tower’s preservation.

The American Lighthouse Foundation (ALF), a nonprofit lighthouse preservation organization headquartered in Rockland, Maine, is presently undertaking a $106,000 exterior restoration of this historic lighthouse, located within the Town of Bristol, Maine.

Thanks in part to a generous $50,000 grant from the National Trust for Historic Preservation and Lowe’s Charitable and Educational Foundation; ALF and its local chapter, Friends of Pemaquid Point Lighthouse (FPPL), will complete full restoration of the exterior of the lighthouse by late-summer 2007.

The project includes the removal of old exterior coatings and the cutting out of deteriorated mortar joints between the granite stonework. Additional phases will include re-pointing the granite stonework with historically accurate natural cement and recoating the tower.
