Roanoke River Light, Integral lighthouse in Edenton, United States
The Roanoke River Light features a white thirty-five-foot square wood tower connected to a two-story keeper's house on the Edenton waterfront.
The lighthouse functioned from 1887 to 1941 near the mouth of the Roanoke River, utilizing a fourth-order Fresnel lens to guide vessels through Albemarle Sound.
The structure represents North Carolina maritime heritage through its preserved architectural elements and navigational equipment from the late nineteenth century.
Visitors can explore the lighthouse from Tuesday to Saturday between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., with additional hours available for scheduled group tours.
The lighthouse underwent two relocations, including an innovative transport using a surplus Landing Craft Infantry vessel to move it to its current position.
