Cape Elizabeth Lights

Cape Elizabeth Light also known as Two Lights is a lighthouse in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. Only the eastern tower of the two that made up the light station until 1924 is active. The western tower is deactivated, but it is still standing and is privately owned. The facility is adjacent to Two Lights State Park, a 41-acre (17 ha) state facility which allows a view of and access to the grounds of the lighthouse. Until recently, the light used a second-order Fresnel lens. Cape Elizabeth Light was added to the National Registry of Historic Places as Two Lights on December 27, 1974, reference number 74000167. The area is known as "Two Lights" due to the history of the station. It was originally built in 1828 as two rubble stone towers 300 yards...
