Seguin Island, ME
Seguin Island Light Station is a lighthouse site on an island in Maine. The Friends of Seguin Island Light Station work to share the island's maritime past through teaching and upkeep of the buildings. The site's menu lists island history, a fresnel lens, fog signals, a tram, and a shop, among other pages. The homepage does not describe the museum or gift shop in detail, and it does not state an admission price.
