Hyannis Rear Range Light, Harbor lighthouse in Hyannis, Barnstable County, United States.
The white brick tower with black lantern stands 20 feet tall near Hyannis Harbor, serving as a guide for vessels to the local wharf.
Congress allocated 2,000 dollars in 1848 for the construction of this lighthouse, which began operations in 1849 with James Bears as first keeper.
The lighthouse location connects to Iyanough, a Wampanoag tribe leader who supported early settlers with food and guidance in Cape Cod.
The structure remains visible to the public from Harbor Road in Hyannis, with the original lantern replaced by a larger one in 1987.
Before the official construction, Daniel Snow Hallett created a temporary light by placing a lamp in a four-paned window inside a small shack.
