On a separate, tiny island at the furthest point north on Campobello Island, this wonderful lighthouse, constructed in 1829, and painted with the Cross of St. George, offers visitors an exceptional experience.

Ironically, this island's nationality was not resolved by the Treaty of Ghent after the War of 1812 and was not addressed later that century by the Webster-Ashburton Treaty of 1842, which decided the disputed boundary between northern Maine and New Brunswick, and between the two countries in the Great Lakes region.
