SOUTHEAST LIGHT

This lighthouse is located along the Mohegan Trail. It was built in 1874 and has a rather original architecture for a New England lighthouse, inspired by the Gothic Revival style. Like many cliff-edge lighthouses, the entire structure of the Southeast Light had to be relocated 90 m in 1993 due to erosion. There is a small museum dedicated to the lighthouse at the bottom of the tower. Access to the top of the tower is fee-paying and is accompanied by a guided tour, where you can learn more about the history of the lighthouse and the shipwrecks along the coast.
