Recommended by Jamie S.
Squirrel Point Light is a historic lighthouse situated on the southwestern tip of Arrowsic Island on the Kennebec River in Maine. Established in 1898 as part of a significant upgrade to the river's navigational lights, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. The light station features an octagonal wood-frame tower, a keeper's house, barn, boathouse, and an oil house. The lighthouse, which was automated in 1982, serves as a vital navigational aid on the Kennebec River, guiding vessels from the port city of Bath to the Gulf of Maine.
