Grindel Point Light is a lighthouse in Islesboro, Maine, marking the west entrance to Gilkey Harbor at the westernmost point of the eponymous island.[2][3] The light station was established in 1850, and the present tower and keeper's house were built in 1874. The station was deactivated in 1934 and reactivated in 1987. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.[1] The keeper's house now houses the Grindel Point Sailor's Museum and the lighthouse tower is open for tours in the summer.
