Castine, Maine, home to Dice Head Lighthouse, is a quintessential New England village with lofty elms shading streets lined with immaculate mid-nineteenth century homes. While some towns boast a few buildings on the National Register of Historic Places, the entire town of Castine made the register.
Located on a peninsula on the east side of the entrance to Penobscot River, sixteen miles off the bustling tourist route, Castine is great for a relaxing escape, and its lighthouse seems to have enjoyed a rather tranquil existence in this peaceful setting. According to one Castine Historical Society writer: “Shipwrecks and heroic rescues performed by lighthouse keepers, their families, and even their dogs have no part in the stories surrounding Dice’s Head Lighthouse.”
