Franklin Island Light, Muscongus Bay, Friendship, Maine. Once the lighthouse was automated in 1933, all the structures, save the tower and oil house, were burned. In 1973 U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service took over care of what is now Franklin Island National Wildlife Refuge. It's a popular nesting spot for a number of gull species, as well as eiders, storm petrels and other sea birds. Because of this, the refuge is closed to the public annually from April 1st to July 31st, so the birds can focus on keeping their chicks safe and fed.

Little River Light, Little River Island, Cutler, Maine. Before electricity or refrigeration on Maine's islands, most everyone living away from the mainland raised their own livestock. Including the fiddle-playing keeper from 1921-1931, Willie Corbett. He always kept cows, pigs and chickens at the light station.

“Maine out of season is unmistakably a great destination: hospitable, good-humored, plenty of elbow room, short days, dark nights of crackling ice crystals.” – Paul Theroux
