The Maine Lighthouse Museum's collection was founded by Ken Black in 1968 and grew to what it is today thanks to Ken's efforts and loaned artifacts from the United States Coast Guard. In April 2007, the American Lighthouse Foundation added its collection from the organization's Museum of Lighthouse History.
