The
Cabot Head Lighthouse was built in 1896, and served for more than a
century before being replaced by an adjacent airport-style tower in
1989. The quaint and homey looking lighthouse is now lovingly cared
for by a group of local citizens who hope to restore the tower that
once rose from a corner of the dwelling. Painted white, with a red roof
and trim, the dwelling has been furnished with antiques and harkens
back days gone by, when the lighthouse keeper and his family filled
the rooms.
