Located in Knox County, Maine, it belongs to a state widely associated with seafaring and coastal life. The museum-and-library identity invites visitors to consider lighthouses not only as landmarks, but as part of a broader human story of travel, communication and orientation.

A useful way to approach a place with this focus is to let questions lead. What makes a beacon meaningful to people at sea? How do communities remember the structures and knowledge that helped guide maritime journeys?
