Once ubiquitous in the Pioneer Valley of Western Massachusetts, the tobacco shed and its' leafy gold has seen a resurgence as a niche agricultural crop that is thought to be one of the finest quality tobaccos grown in the United States.
Wood Island is located in Kittery Point, Maine. In 1908, the current Wood Island Life Saving Station and a tool shed were built by Sugden Brothers of Portsmouth, N.H. for the US Life Saving Service. It’s a Duluth-style station designed by architect George R. Tolman and it replaced the original Jerry’s Point Station #12 across the harbor in New Castle, N.H. which had been requisitioned by the U.S. Navy. The U.S. Life Saving Service became part of the U.S. Coast Guard in 1915. Many lives had been lost over the years from ship wrecks on the rocky shore of Maine and New Hampshire and now a crew of men were in place to protect mariners.—woodislandlifesaving.org
Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouse is a historic lighthouse located within Fort Constitution in New Castle, New Hampshire. The station was established in 1771 and was the 10th of 11 light stations established prior to the American Revolution. The current light is a fixed green signal that is visible for 12 nautical miles . Other structures at the light station that are still standing are the 1903 oil house (restored in 2004) and the 1872 keeper's house (currently United States Coast Guard offices). The lighthouse was added to National Register of Historic Places in 2009.—Wikipedia
