Seguin Island, located at the mouth of the Kennebec River and nearly 2.5 miles out to sea, is the site of Maine’s 2nd oldest lighthouse. The light station was commissioned by George Washington in 1795 and was placed on the National Registry of Historic Places on March 8, 1977.
The current light station, erected in 1857, with its 1st order Fresnel Lens has the “highest” focal point of all operational lighthouses in Maine. This spectacular Fresnel Lens is the only 1st order lens north of Massachusetts. Visiting the island changes your perspective with unique views of Mid-Coast Maine and stunning vistas of Popham Beach, Georgetown and Reid State Park. On particularly clear days, you may see Monhegan Island or even Mount Washington!
Maintained by Friends of Seguin Island Light Station (FOSILS), Seguin Island is on the Maine Island Trail (MITA.org) and hosts 5 hiking trails, historical buildings, tram, museum, gift
