Maine’s Leading Lady

By Linda Tancs

First lit on January 10, 1791, the Lighthouse at Portland Head is Maine’s leading lady according to visitors to the Pine Tree State.  Situated in Cape Elizabeth, this postcard-worthy icon adorns the shores of Fort Williams Park, a 90-acre retreat offering magnificent views of Ram Island Ledge Light and the islands of Casco Bay.  The park is open all year; the lighthouse museum opens daily during the summer season until mid-October.
