Hendricks Head Light Located on the east side of the Sheepscot River the original light was built in 1829 on top of the granite keepers house. Destroyed by fire in 1875 and replaced with the present day structure, the square brick tower made of brick is 39-feet high and attached to a keeper's house. In 1890 a skeleton-type bell tower was added and in 1895 an oil house. The light was discontinued in 1933 and sold to a private party. The Coast Guard reactivated the light in 1951 when electricity was brought to the house, as the boating traffic in the area was increasing. The fifth order Fresnel lens was replaced in 1979. The property remains privatly owned

Hendricks Head Light Two stories go along with this light station: In the mid 19th century, following a March gale and shipwreck the lightkeeper noticed a bundle floating toward shore and plucked it from the waves. The small package contained a box wrapped in two feather mattresses, in the box was an infant girl. The baby girl survived the ordeal but the vessel vanished beneath the waves as wreckage began to wash ashore. Since the keeper and his wife and recently buried their own daughter, They adopted the child and raised her. The other tale begins with a keeper whose tenure included the years between the first and second world wars. He reported the presence of an unknown women walking in the area of the Southport post office; the postmaster had also seen her, but neither had spoken to her. Her body was found the next day, weighted down with a flatiron. She was buried in Southport, her identity never known. Her ghostly figure has been reportedly seen walking the deserted beach in winter months, haunting the site where she supposedly commited suicide.
