Lighthouse keeper Frederic W. Morong is shown on the walkway at Maine’s Little River Lighthouse where he was the lighthouse keeper from 1898 to 1913. In July of 2002, under the leadership of Timothy Harrison, who was at the time president of the American Lighthouse Foundation, the Little River Lighthouse became the first lighthouse in New England and the third lighthouse in the nation to have its ownership transferred to a nonprofit under the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act. Harrison led a 13-year long effort to totally restore the light station that is located on a 15-acre island off the coast of Cutler. The restored light station is now available for overnight stays through the America Lighthouse Foundation. (Lighthouse Digest archives.)
