Maine Lighthouse Museum - Rockland, Maine

Museo precioso y súper interesante!

Nos encantó, tienes toda la historia de los fareros, lo importante que fueron sobretodo en el pasado cuando no había luz en los barcos. También te explica como era un faro antes de la luz artificial, y el mecanismo de los faros ya más modernos, que cuando hay niebla y no se puede ver la luz, lo importante que eran las campanas, el tamaño y la forma de sonar. Vamos un montón de curiosidades que no te imaginas, es todo un micro mundo súper interesante.

Alucinamos con la réplica de la Torre de Hércules de La Coruña, de España! Fue uno de los primeros faros de la época Romana!!

Lo recomendamos si o si, y visitar la tienda, tiene conchas dibujadas preciosas!!

We visited the museum after it was recommended by the Bixby Chocolate shop staff. We visited several lighthouses while vacationing in Maine. It seemed like a fitting thing to do. We did not buy tickets in advance and we did not have to wait but it was November so maybe plan ahead in the summer. There is a lot of educational material in this museum. There is a gift shop as well with some artwork and other keepsakes.

Excellent museum. Items are all tagged and easy to read.

I randomly stopped in here on my way to the Maine Boat and Home Show, as you literally walk right past it on the way to the Harbor. So glad I followed my instinct, as it's pretty darn cool. Lots of local history, along with plenty of historical artifacts, and how about all those gorgeous lenses! Pretty cool to get so close and see these bad boys in all their glory. I spent about an hour here, and that was plenty. It's worth your "Maritime"

The museum was small but interesting! There were a lot of different lenses! Unfortunately, I got there just as a large tour group entered, and it was way too crowded for me. I'm sure I would have enjoyed it more if it wasn't packed for such a small place.

This was a very quaint museum...about light houses. Very small. It was cool to see the lights used & read history. I think the entry fee was a little high for what was there but no big deal. There is a cute little gift shop attached as well.

Astonishing views and epic adventures. This is one place in the country you must purpose to go. So much good food and so many coastal landscapes that will forever impress your heart and memory. Family adventures could include boat rides and light houses. Endless glory

Fascinating collection of Fresnel lenses and other lighthouse related artifacts. I enjoyed learning about all of the ingenious devices that were used in lighthouses prior to the availability of electricity.
