Bluff Point Light, Lighthouse on Valcour Island in Lake Champlain, United States
The stone lighthouse rises 90 feet above the shore, featuring blue limestone construction and a fifth order Fresnel lens for navigation purposes.
Built in 1874 at a cost of $15,000, the structure guided ships through the channel between Valcour Island and the New York shore until 1930.
Mary Herwerth took charge of the lighthouse operations after her husband's death in 1881, maintaining the facility until 1902 with exceptional standards.
The Clinton County Historical Association conducts guided tours every Sunday during July and August, allowing visitors to explore the maritime heritage.
The lighthouse overlooks the location of the Battle of Valcour, a naval engagement from the American Revolution, adding historical depth to its setting.
