The lighthouse keeper's home at Pemaquid Point Lighthouse has now been converted into a fisherman's museum.
The collection includes memorabilia from the local maritime industry past and present. There's even a Fresnel lens from the lighthouse at Baker Island. Nearby is an art gallery, founded in 1960 by a group of local artists.
