The history of Maine's Marshall Point Lighthouse began in 1831 when Samuel Marshall conveyed four acres of land to the U.S. Government. A better known fact may be that a scene from the movie Forrest Gump was filmed there, owing in no small part to the facility's iconic tower. The picturesque white lighthouse also features an 1880s keepers' house and a summer-only museum and gift shop. Be sure to enjoy the nearby idyllic hamlet of Port Clyde, a working fishing village.
