    The Portland Head Light is located on a rocky promontory in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, and has marked the entrance to Portland Harbor since 1791. It is the oldest lighthouse in the state. The 24-meter-tall, white tower structure was built at the direction of George Washington. Today, the U.S. Coast Guard operates the light, while the former keeper's house houses a museum. The building is owned by the municipality and is located in picturesque Fort Williams Park, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
