There's a lot of iconic pieces of imagery that exemplify Maine, including the lighthouse.

In fact, there's nearly 60 of them in the state, according to VisitMaine.net, each standing tall along the water with their own separate histories and aspects that make them unique.

And on Saturday, September 14, you can get the chance to visit 22 of them for FREE.

The American Lighthouse Foundation even states that you'll be able to check some lighthouses out that aren't typically open to the public. Talk about a pretty sweet deal to be able to sneak a peek!

Maine’s 10th annual Open Lighthouse Day is sponsored by the United States Coast Guard, the Maine Office of Tourism and the American Lighthouse Foundation, and the event reportedly draws between 15,000 to 18,000 visitors, according to the American Lighthouse Foundation. So expect plenty of people making their way to these iconic landmarks.
