Description
Located on the most eastern point of the continental United States, West Quoddy Head Lighthouse is a stunning spot to see the first rays of sun in the country. Located in Quoddy Head State Park, the original tower was built in 1808 under orders from President Thomas Jefferson to guide ships through the Quoddy Narrows. The lighthouse tower that stands today was built in 1858.

Wonderful lighthouse image Jurgen! They sure are different from the ones we have out here in Oregon. :-)

This is so beautiful, Can you go inside?
Jurgen Lorenzen replied:
Thank you so much, Tracy. It's a museum, I believe - there is a fee to enter the State Park. That's why I favored perspective:)
