It was Thomas Jefferson’s signature that authorized the construction of a small dwelling and a stone lighthouse in 1803 on Maine's Whitehead Island, at the mouth of Penobscot Bay. Whitehead Light Station continues to provide a beacon to mariners from its granite lighthouse, and it has a new mission: to provide programming for adults that will give them the opportunity to experience life at a historic Maine island light station, to step out of the busy world of the mainland, and to gain knowledge of specific subjects, the Maine coast, and themselves.
