Block Island North Lighthouse

Historic lighthouse located on the northern tip of Block Island. The original structure was built in 1829, and the present lighthouse was completed in 1867. Decayed after years of neglect, it was sold in 1984 to the town of New Shoreham - who restored it - for the modest sum of US$1. In 1993 the museum opened on the ground floor. The tower is not open to the public. To reach it, follow Corn Neck Road, park and walk the 800m to the lighthouse.
