Baker Island Light is a lighthouse on Baker Island, Maine, which is part of Acadia National Park.[2][3] The light station was established in 1828 as a guide to the southern entrance to Frenchman Bay. The present tower was built in 1855; the well-preserved tower, keeper's house, and associated outbuildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[1]
