Why Nubble Lighthouse Attracts One Million People Every Year

As another Seacoast summer nears its end, so too does the busy season for one of the Seacoast's top tourist destinations.

The Nubble Lighthouse, seated along scenic Cape Neddick in Maine, is an enduring symbol of the Seacoast. It's a nod to Maine's past as a commercial hub, an ode to Americana in its purest form.

For over a century, the Nubble has captured the imaginations of all who have visited. Why? Because they can look, but they can't touch.

Only one person alive is fortunate enough to have that honor, and he joins me on the show today.

In today's conversation from my makeshift studio in Portsmouth, the keeper of the Nubble Lighthouse, Matt Rosenberg, joins me to discuss:

• The founding of Nubble Lighthouse (00:00)
• What does the keeper do? (03:53)
• Why Nubble is so beloved (19:42)
• Tourism at Nubble (22:08)
• Follow/subscribe to the podcast (30:25)
• Teaching at York High School (31:46)
• What's your mission? (44:35)
• The Final Final Question (46:00)

Matt Rosenberg is the keeper for the Nubble Light House in Cape Neddick, M.E. The keeper for the last 13 years, he's also an English and media teacher at York High School, where he's taught for 25 years. Additionally, he takes photos and videos for the realtors of the Seacoast.
