Winter Harbor Light
Transportation
Winter Harbor Light stands on Mark Island at the entrance to Winter Harbor on Maine’s Schoodic Peninsula. Built in 1856 to guide the local fishing fleet, it features a round brick tower with its original octagonal lantern house and originally used a fifth-order Fresnel lens. The station expanded over time with a new keeper’s house in 1876, a boathouse in 1878, and an oilhouse in 1905. Its closely arranged buildings preserve the practical layout of a small offshore light station. Deactivated in the 1930s and later privately owned, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
