America's Lighthouses

The Fire Island Lighthouse guides ships to New York Harbor and symbolizes hope for immigrants entering the USA.

St. Augustine Lighthouse, Florida's first, dates to the 1500s. Originally wooden watchtowers, it guided ships to the nation's oldest port.

Drum Point Lighthouse is an architectural marvel, once home to keepers. Watch engineers move the entire structure upriver.

For almost 300 years, Tybee Island Light Station has faithfully guided mariners to secure passage into the Savannah River.

Guiding the entrance to Narragansett Bay, Beavertail Lighthouse may not tower as high as some of its counterparts, but its significance is every bit as profound.
