ACADIA ON MY MIND BLOG • May 14, 2020
Acadia National Park is poised “any day now” to take over the vacant Bass Harbor Head Light Station, setting the stage for a new era for the iconic lighthouse, one of the most popular attractions within the park’s boundaries. The Coast Guard currently owns the iconic lighthouse and other structures and has been planning to transfer it to Acadia since 2017. When it assumes ownership, the National Park Service is hopeful of finding a partner to staff, operate and maintain the lighthouse and other buildings.
