The Coast Guard has leased the Pemaquid Point Lighthouse to the American Lighthouse Foundation, and the tower is opened occasionally to visitors by the Friends of Pemaquid Lighthouse, a chapter of the foundation. The keeper's dwelling is home to the Fisherman's Museum, which has the Fresnel lens from Maine's Baker Island Lighthouse on display. Grounds/dwelling/tower open.

Notes from a friend:

Kraig writes:

It might not be immediately obvious, but the lighthouse on Maine's commemorative state quarter is the Pemaquid Point Lighthouse. Also included on the quarter is Maine's state tree, the White Pine, and the three-masted schooner Victory Chimes. With accommodations for forty guests, the Victory Chimes is the largest passenger sailing vessel under the US flag.
