Destination Highlight: Owls Head Transportation Museum and Lighthouse

The sky's the limit on this rare opportunity to visit the Owls Head Transportation Museum, home to a landmark collection of antique aircraft, automobiles, motorcycles, carriages, bicycles and engines. The collection features a replica of the Wright Brothers Kitty hawk Flyer as well as many other vintage airplanes and cars. This fine collection is maintained in operating condition and routinely flown and demonstrated! In fact during your visit you will have the opportunity to take a short ride in a Ford Model T! Explore the evolution of wing and wheel, from gliders to WW1 fighters, including the Red Baron's famous Red Fokker Triplane. You will relive the advancement from horse-drawn carriage to the motorized mechanical ancestors of today's automobiles and airplanes. Then enjoy a scenic drive to the nearby Owls Head Lighthouse to take in Maine's beautiful rocky coast. The Light was first commissioned by President John Quincy Adams in 1825 due to the growing lime trade and subsequent shipping traffic in Rockland Harbor. You will have the option of taking a short 10 minute walk to the base of the lighthouse. The motor coach will then proceed back to the pier.
