Midcoast Maine Lighthouse Challenge

The event brochure is now online at http://www.rocklandlighthouse.com/docs/light_challenge08.pdf.

The Mid-Coast Maine Lighthouse Challenge is a non-profit event sponsored by the Friends of the Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse for the purpose of educating the public about the lighthouses of Maine.

If you choose to walk the breakwater to the Rockland Breakwater Light, you will receive a special bonus token, stating that you have walked the breakwater to the lighthouse.
