A short drive from downtown Portland, this 1794 lighthouse is one of the most picturesque in the nation. You'll probably recognize it from advertisements, calendars, or posters. The light marks the entrance to Portland Harbor and was occupied continuously from its construction until 1989, when it was automated and the graceful keeper's house (1891) was converted to a small town-owned museum focusing on the history of navigation. The lighthouse itself is still active, thus closed to the public; but visitors can stop by the museum or browse for lighthouse-themed gifts in a gift shop. The surrounding grounds of Fort Williams Park are great for picnics.

The L.L. Bean flagship store in Freeport, Maine has a 16-foot version of their famous signature rubber-bottom boot outside their door. It's a perfect photo for fans of boots, big things or both. The store itself is also a lot of fun to visit and there are yummy Bean boot cookies inside as well.
