Sea Captain's House

We made a trip today to Yarmouth, which was a really beautiful ride along the coast stopping to see some of the Sea Captain's Houses and lighthouses.  It is fascinating to read and hear how the lighthouse keepers lived with their families in these small buildings, many of whom had 5-6 children.

This lighthouse was built in the shape of an apple core
so it would have less wind resistance

Granite church that took 30 years to build

Biggest wooden church in North America
