Welcome to the Seguin Island Lighthouse blog! We’re Matt and Maureen, the 2024 caretakers. If you come visit the island this year, you’re almost certain to meet us, and our two dogs, Zorro and Tulah, as we’ll be calling Seguin home through mid-September.
We arrived on the island on June 1st, and after a week of mowing hip-high grass and weed whacking impassible trails, we’re nearly prepared for the busy summer season to begin! The museum is open, and we’ve been brushing up on Seguin history so we’re ready to give tours to the visitors to the island.
We can’t wait to share more about life and weather on the island and our experience as caretakers this summer!
