There is a lot of lighthouse history to be seen here, and the displays are changed every 2 or 3 years which means if you go every couple years there will be new things to see. The staff is kind and knowledgeable. Parking may or may not be a problem depending on the time of year. The gift shop has all kinds of lighthouse items (books, shirts, hats, toys, coloring books, photos, paintings, etc). Worth an explore if you are in Rockland.

We stopped during a road trip from Maine to Connecticut. The entry fee was very reasonable and offers a senior discount (as well as free entry for Coast Guard personnel). The museum is run by the USCG. The displays cover all aspects of the history of lighthouses and the Rescue Service and the people involved. The development of the technology and equipment was very interesting. The museum is not huge and can be completely seen in an hour to hour and a half. This was a stop that was well worth the time spent to visit.

I have a very low threshold for museums (an attention span of maybe 2 hours and tire very quickly of reading plaques) but this was well worth the time. Once you get past the initial examples of lights, there are lots of interesting stories and items cataloging much of what was and is involved with keeping boats afloat on various waters. From lightboats (I had no idea these were used) to lighthouses to rescues to foghorns and fogbells, it was fascinating to see how we have evolved and what still goes on today. My husband actually had to wait for me to finish in the museum!

Such a great little museum with all kinds of artifacts, photos, fresnel lenses, fog horns, lighthouse models… The history of the Coast guard is presented as well. It’s the perfect stop on a road trip up the coast, especially on a rainy day. There are restrooms at the entrance, a gift shop at the exit, and three appealing food trucks in the parking lot.

This museum is small, but nevertheless contains a myriad of well-maintained exhibits with generous written commentary. The overriding impression is of the sheer power of the sea, and the courage of those engaged in coastal maritime service. In an era when we hold complex computers in the palm of our hand, it is both helpful and humbling to be reminded not only of the long evolution of maritime life-saving technology, including but not limited to aids to navigation, but also to pause to consider that even the "smartest" of our current phones is quickly rendered useless when immersed in the ocean. Perhaps most astonishing of all was to learn in this modest but gleaming museum of the courage of the early pilots in the U.S. Lifesaving Service -- Airways Division, formed in 1926, who must have known that the mortality rate for air mail pilots in the previous seven years had been over 75%! An appealing gift shop awaits as you exit.

We enjoyed this museum very much. The exhibits are all in one large room but there is a lot to see. We spent 1.5 hours there. They have a lot of artifacts such as lights and lenses; historical photos; and some large models of certain Maine lighthouses. They have good explanations posted with most items telling how they were used. Some of the descriptions told details about the duties and daily lives of the lighthouse keepers. There are restrooms by the entrance, and a nice gift shop as you exit. Admission was $10, less for seniors.

To learn and appreciate nautical history. This museum is so much information perfectly displayed. You start w one single glass pane and you graduate thru nautical miles of history. I learned a great deal. Take the time, only a few blocks from Farnsworth. Enjoy the magnificent lighthouse displays.

We needed something to do on a rainy day and chose this museum and was glad we did. Who knew there was so much scientific history to lighthouses and their components. Would have loved if this museum was open until 5:00 PM. As is the case with much of Camden/Rockport/Rockland, restaurants, stores, and museums seem to close early, even during tourist season.

Gove yourself at least an hour to take everything in.
