Creator's Key Takeaways

this bug Light is uh was built in 1875 oh wow impressive 1875 since you know so much about it oh and it was done in a Greek style

so springpoint ledge is also on basically kind of the campus of Southern main Community College and also there on that site is a fort called Fort prebble

it's called Portland headlight which ironically it's not in Portland it's in Cape Elizabeth so this Lighthouse was about 4 miles from springpoint ledge

so that is another blueberries Lobster and Whoopi pie are the three things that I think of when when you're in Maine so try to get as many of those three things to fill your bingo card up for Maine

βœ“Get a rental car to do the lighthouse tour on your own
