KITTERY, Maine (AP) — A long-shuttered, century-old rescue station on the border of Maine and New Hampshire is being restored with plans to turn it into a maritime history museum.
The building is located on Wood Island near the entrance of the Piscataqua River, on the Maine side of the state divide. It was once an outpost of the long-gone U.S. Life-Saving Service before being decommissioned in 1948 and then falling into neglect for decades.
The first phase of a restoration overseen by a local group called the Wood Island Life Saving Station Association will be completed next month.
