In 1885, the U.S. Congress appropriated $5,000 for construction of the lighthouse. In 1876, construction was completed on a fog bell and tower, since removed, A much larger 4,000-pound (1800 kg) bell was placed inside the tower in 1898, The lighthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places as Bass Harbor Head Light Station on January 21, 1988.
