All of the lighthouse materials and the exhibits of maritime and Civil War Memorabilia once comprising the collection housed at the Shore Village Museum were moved to the Maine Lighthouse Museum upon the closing of the Shore Village Museum in October, 2004.

The largest collection of lighthouse lenses and the largest collection of lighthouse artifacts and Coast Guard memorabilia in the United States has now become a part of the Maine Lighthouse Museum. This makes the Maine Lighthouse Museum a definite destination for anyone who is awed by lighthouses and American maritime history.

Located in Rockland, Maine, the Museum is easy to find and family friendly.
