Description:
Under the 2004 Program of the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act, Goose Rocks Lighthouse was offered to qualified non-profit organizations and government agencies. When no applicant was recommended to receive ownership of the lighthouse, it was sold at auction to Casey and Ted Jordan for $27,000. The couple relocated from Connecticut to North Haven, Maine, where Ted works as the town's only doctor.
The Jordans offer trips to their lighthouse and even rent it out for overnight stays. In 2006, the couple established Beacon Preservation, which was awarded ownership of the Penfield Reef Lighthouse in Connecticut in 2008.
