BASS HARBOR, Maine — For the second time in a decade, an iconic Maine lighthouse will soon start appearing in the pockets and pocketbooks of people across the country.
Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse on Mount Desert Island will be featured on the back of a U.S. quarter to be issued in 2012 as part of the U.S. Mint’s “America the Beautiful Quarters Program.”
Bass Harbor’s lighthouse was the location chosen to represent Acadia National Park, which will be the 13th park, national forest or historic site featured in a U.S. Mint series that continues through 2021. One site in each state plus Washington, D.C., and the five U.S. territories will be featured through the program.
Stewart Family Lighthouse Explorations
The Stewart family live up to their name as stewards of American history. The family happened across a neat idea where you can purchase a passport and have it stamped at each lighthouse you visit. This has become a true tradition for the Stewarts with 35 entries now stamped into their booklet. The family sees a real value in building life long memories with each visit to one of these grand structures.
