Marshall Point Lighthouse 41

Description

Location: Port Clyde Harbor, Maine

Marshall Point Lighthouse became famous because of Tom Hanks in the Movie "Forest Gump"

Few fun facts:

Guarding the small fishing town of Port Clyde Harbor, this light station when built became of major importance to the mariners associated with the lumber trade.

The present tower was built in 1858, but the charming colonial revival keeper's house was built in 1896, after the original house was struck by lightning a year prior.

After the second World War, the Coast Guard established an electronic guide to navigation (LORAN-A) at Marshall Point that was discontinued in 1981.

In 1988, the lighthouse was transferred to the St. George Historical Society for its upkeep and maintenance.

With the above history cited, the Marshall Point Lighthouse's present day claim to fame came from a few seconds scene in the movie Forrest Gump. After the long bearded, title character, played by Tom Hanks, decides to run his problems away, his non-ending run does end at the Marshall Point Lighthouse. The character comprehends that he has hit the end of his eastward run when he runs up the Marshall Point Lighthouse's wooden plank and can not proceed anymore. Realizing that he can not run anymore east, he concludes to to turn around and pick up his run back west, "Run, Forrest....Run!"
