It's a phrase commonly said in Massachusetts. It essentially means "Ohhhh, now I get it..." or "Duh!"

Marblehead is the eastern-most town in Mass, and is truly the first place you'd see the sunrise.
(Great answer, except for one thing. I think the residents of many North Shore, South Shore, and Cape Cod towns, might disagree with you that Marblehead is the eastern most town in Massachusetts)
The expression is a play on words, i.e. when a light bulb comes on over your 'marble' head.
