Enjoy this matted 5 x 7 archival print that offers a classic view of the Portland Headlight.

In 1787, while Maine was still part of the state of Massachusetts, George Washington instructed two masons from the town of Portland to take charge of the construction of a lighthouse on Portland Head. Washington reminded them that the colonial government was poor and that the materials used to build the lighthouse should be taken from the fields and shores. The old tower, built of rubblestone, still stands as one of the four colonial lighthouses that have never been rebuilt.
