Lighthouse · Washington County, Maine
Narraguagus Light is a lighthouse in Washington County, Maine. Maine has 70 lighthouses on record at Wayfarrow, 11 of them in Washington County.
It was built in 1853, in the Civil War era, making it the 11th oldest of the 61 in Maine with a recorded construction date; the tower stands about 31 feet tall (34th tallest of 53 measured in Maine); it was deactivated in 1934.
Status check, 2026-11: The light was turned off in 1934 and the station is now a private residence on Pond Island; sources disagree on whether the tower is brick or granite, and it was thickened with extra brick in 1894. Narraguagus Light is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is not reachable by road: the nearest road is about 2 miles away, so it is seen from shore or reached by water. It stands at 44.4560° N, 67.8312° W.
