Seguin Island Light Seguin Island Light is the second lighthouse built in Maine by orders from President George Washington in 1795. At the mouth of the Kennebec River it is the highest above water on the Maine coast. The tower is not the tallest on the coast of Maine, but the light is the highest due to the location on the island. 186 feet above sea level, and is visible from 40 miles on a clear day. The original wooden tower was replaced by a stone structure in 1819 and rebuilt in 1857. Seguin has one of the most powerful foghorns ever made because this area is often shrouded in heavy fog.

"A Ghost Story" A 19th century keeper's wife would play the same tune on the piano over and over again,driving the keeper insane. He took an ax to the piano and then killed his wife and then killed himself. The Legend goes that the tune can still be heard drifting from the island on calm evenings.
