Pemaquid Point Lighthouse
Pemaquid Point Lighthouse, sits atop unique rock formations on a high cliff. It was commissioned to be built in 1827, by John Quincy Adams. The light is visible for up to 14 miles, and was automated in 1934.
This is an absolutely beautiful lighthouse and grounds to visit. The keeper's dwelling is exceptional in its architecture. A beautiful white picket fence surrounds the light and dwelling. This lighthouse is very easy to visit, and a person can park their car right in front of the lighthouse. The beach below is accessible, but difficult to walk on the sharp rocks.

"Keep The Lights Shining", is my favorite expression. I love to visit lighthouses, climb to the top of their tall towers with spiral stairs, and to photograph them. My son jokes with me when I take my last look at a lighthouse before leaving it, and says "burn it in your retina".
When I am not visiting a lighthouse, I enjoy reading books about them, or surfing the web for websites about lighthouses. I hope that you enjoy your visit to "Jo's Wonderland". It is a pleasure to share my hobby with you.
In this section of my website, I shall try to provide interesting information on various selected lighthouses--a different lighthouse each month. For more information about all the lighthouses on my website, please visit my "Lighthouse Wonderland" section.
