The harbor of Cutler, Maine, is the last protected harbor on the Maine coast before Canada. A lighthouse was established on Little River Island at the entrance to the harbor in 1847, and the present cast-iron tower was erected in 1876. The property was licensed in early 2000 to the American Lighthouse Foundation. On October 2, 2001, the lighthouse was officially relighted after being dark for 21 years. Ownership of the light station has been transferred to the American Lighthouse Foundation. A transfer ceremony was held in Cutler on July 27, 2002. It was the first lighthouse in New England to be transferred under the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act of 2000. Since then, much restoration of the keeper's house and tower has taken place, and the keeper's house has been opened for overnight stays. Click here for details.
