Very educational. A great museum explaining the various types of lenses and the progression of them over time. Exhibit of lighthouse models and photos is a must to see before visiting the actual lig…Full review by BackPacker12654

It is a small museum but very well done. Learned a lot about lighthouses before continuing up the coast to Canada to see more. The lights are amazing and they have several on display. Didn't reali…Full review by NorCal-traveler08

This is fun for people who really like lighthouses and want to learn. I could have spent an hour or more in here. My three teenagers blew through it in 12 minutes and were bored. I should have l…Full review by MELISSA P

Number 1: I NEVER listed ANY hours of operation in my review nor did I mention anything about a website. Perhaps a lesson in proofreading might serve you well in the future before trying to correct someone (see below)! And, since we're being all technical, the red stripped lighthouse for the museum's photo is not in Rockland, ME either. It's the West Quaddy Head Lighthouse in Lubec, ME, and it's located well north of Rockland at the Canadian border. It's also the farthest eastern point in the USA. My Review I wrote: There's a minimal charge to go here, but it's worth it. It's got many types of lighthouse lenses here. Some are absolutely huge! They have a gift shop. It's easy to get to. There's a lot of lighthouse memorabilia here other than lenses. It takes about 30-60 to go through the museum. The Owls Head Lighthouse is only a few miles from here as is the Rockland Breakwater Light. They do have restroom facilities.
