Restoration

Maine’s oldest “original” Lighthouse tower is returned to its glory to celebrate its 200th anniversary in 2021.

The restoration project also included the exterior of the keeper’s dwelling, shed, and boathouse. The "Keepers of the Burnt Island Light" is truly appreciative of the generosity and support from people near and afar. By answering our call, you saved Boothbay Harbor’s guiding light for generations to come.
