More about Whitehead Light Station:
Whitehead Light Station is located on Whitehead Island, which is about 8 miles southwest of Rockland, Maine, about 3 miles northeast of Tenant’s Harbor and directly off the coast from Spruce Head.
It was Thomas Jefferson’s signature that authorized the construction of a small dwelling and a stone lighthouse in 1803 on Whitehead Island, which lies at the mouth of Penobscot Bay. Ever since, the Whitehead Light Station has provided a beacon to mariners making their way up and down the Maine Coast. In 1982 Whitehead Light Station was automated and, while the lighthouse continued to operate, the dwellings and outbuildings were shuttered and abandoned. In 1996, through the Maine Lights Program, Pine Island Camp became owner of the Whitehead Light Station and began renovations. The restoration process was completed in 2008 and the result is a facility that is remote but comfortable with a private bath in each room, electricity, and comfortable common areas, including a library.
Today the Light Station continues to provide a beacon to mariners from its granite lighthouse, and it has a new mission: to provide programming for adults that will give them the opportunity to experience life at a historic Maine island light station, to step out of the busy world of the mainland, and to gain knowledge of specific subjects, the Maine coast, and themselves.
