Marshall Point Lighthouse — Attraction in Saint George

This is a fun place and very peaceful place to sit on benches or at picnic tables for a lunch. There is a small parking lot and when we were there it wasn’t full. There are people here when we came but it is not mobbed. The lighthouse is simple but nice and it and the keepers house are well kept and pretty. You can walk out to the lighthouse on the walk bridge. The museum doesn’t open until noon and is open a limited schedule during the week. Museum requires masks and 6 people at a time inside. There are porta potty type restrooms and as far as ports potties go was clean and didn’t smell. The scenery out here on the point is beautiful and the lighthouse is way off by itself on the point. The only negative I could see was that the old lady that ran the gift shop was very rude and nasty however the gentlemen overseeing the museum was very nice and informative. Maybe they will replace the gift shop clerk! Everything else at the lighthouse was fine and well worth the visit. I haven’t visited all the lighthouses in Maine, however I did get a map of all the lighthouses at the gift shop which included a list to do your check off as you visit them. I have seen quite a few of Maine’s lighthouses but no where near seeing all of them. This light was a favorite for us as this point is so remote and quite and the views are amazing. I really like the architecture and the walk bridge to the lighthouse. The grounds and buildings are well kept and very sharp looking in person and in...

We had a wonderful visit to Marshall Point Lighthouse & Museum. The museum is full of fascinating local history, and the exhibits brought Port Clyde’s past to life — from the sardine industry and granite quarries to everyday artifacts and community stories.

One of the highlights was speaking with the gentleman greeting visitors. He was welcoming, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain details of the displays, including the sardine packing house where women once worked with bandaged hands due to the sharp cans. Hearing that he had worked there himself gave the history a very personal and authentic touch.

The photos, paintings, and artifacts — especially the exhibits on the 1970 sardine factory fire and the granite paving blocks — were memorable and very well presented. It was clear how important these industries were to the life of the community, and the museum does a wonderful job preserving and sharing that story.

This is a place not to be missed when visiting the area. Thank you for keeping this history alive and sharing it so generously...

You 'can get there from here'; Forest Gump did it in the movie.

If you are up in the Rockland/Camden area of Maine, like lighthouses, and have an afternoon to spare, take a leisurely trip down the St. George Peninsula. Visit the Owl's Head Lighthouse, not very far from the famous Owl's Head Museum. Then drive down the coast through Spruce Head, Tennant's Harbor, Port Clyde, and onto Marshall Point Road. At the end you will find this little gem. The lighthouse may not be the most magnificent that Maine has to offer but it comes with a complete package: easily accessible lighthouse, a museum in the old keeper's house, and great views. The museum is full of history and even stories of Tom Hank's 'Forest Gump's visit. On one visit were were fortunate enough to meet the author of Nellie and Molly the lighthouse dog books and bought autographed copies. There is even plenty to see for geology buffs when the tide is at its lower stages. Don't worry: there are gas stations, restaurants, and general stores along the way; just...
