Town of Camden, new foundation join forces to restore Curtis Island Light Station

The Town of Camden and a new foundation dedicated to restoring Curtis Island Lighthouse are signing a memorandum of understanding, and each will be pitching in money to fund a third-party assessment of the property, and a plan for its future.

The decision was made Dec. 5 at a regularly scheduled Select Board meeting after Camden Historic Resources Committee volunteer member Michael Skaling delivered a presentation about the iconic lighthouse and island that graces the entrance to Camden Harbor.
