West Quoddy Head Light House Visitor Center Services
As a non-profit organization the West Quoddy Head Light Keepers Association (WQHLKA) depends on donations and fund-raising to support Visitor Center operations and special events that we offer throughout the season. We intentionally limit sale of merchandise at the visitor center so that our outstanding volunteer docents can focus on providing information and answering questions, sharing anecdotes, and personal experiences about the lighthouse, telling stories about past light keepers, and promoting the town of Lubec and the many points of interest in the area.

Some plants that you may see are: leatherleaf, sheep laurel, black spruce, Labrador tea, pitcher plant, and cotton grass; subarctic species, such as baked-apple berry and black cranberry; and lichens, such as reindeer moss and Icelandic moss. Listed as a National Landmark.
