| Lighthouse History | ||||||||||||||||||||
The Little River Lighthouse was the first lighthouse in New England to be transferred from U.S. Coast Guard ownership under the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act of 2000. Now a steward of the American Lighthouse Foundation, the tower was repaired and relit in 2001. The ALF has completed a full restoration of the 1888 keeper's house and is currently working to replace the island's dock. Construction, maintenance and repair projects have been undertaken not only by members of the ALF, but by the US Coast Guard, Local Boy Scout troops and other volunteers. The ALF's goal is for a total restoration of the light station that will be open to the public. The Little River lighthouse continues to be an active aid to navigation displaying a white flash every 6 seconds from the white 41 foot tower topped by a green lantern room. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Little River Lighthouse is located on Little River Island at the mouth of Cutler Harbor. The lighthouse is on the seaward side of the island and not readily visible from the mainland. The lighthouse is visible from the "Western Head Trail" located on the south side of the harbor. The nature trail is a couple of miles over rough terrain but provides close views of the Little River Lighthouse as well as distant views the Machias Seal Island and Southwestern Head Lights. The best views are by boat including Puffin watching cruises from Cutler to Machias Seal Island. Directions: From US Route 1 in Machias, turn south - east onto state route 191. Continue just over 13 miles to Cutler, Maine. There are no restaurants or accommodations in Cutler so remember to bring anything you need with you.
