Artist's Description
The first light at this location was erected shortly before the Civil War. It lasted only a short time, and when the war was over.....so was the tower. The Lighthouse board then selected another site on the island and built the current 128-foot cast iron light, which housed a second order Fresnel lens. It was lit in 1875.
By 1889 erosion was so brutal that it was moved some mile and a third from the previous location. Interestingly, the tower was dismantled and moved.

Lighthouses on Block Island and Cape Cod come to mind as examples. This lighthouse my be visited by the public as an attraction in the State Park.
