Tarrytown Light, Lighthouse in Sleepy Hollow, Westchester County, US
The Tarrytown Light stands 60 feet tall on the east side of the Hudson River, featuring a white steel structure with black trim and red base.
The lighthouse began operations in 1883 to guide ships away from dangerous shoals near Tarrytown and Ossining along the Hudson River shipping routes.
The first keeper, Jacob Ackerman, served from 1883 to 1904 and saved 19 lives during his time managing this important maritime navigation point.
Visitors can access the lighthouse through guided tours offered at Kingsland Point Park, learning about maritime navigation methods from the 19th century.
This steel lighthouse remains the sole family station on the lower Hudson River containing integrated living quarters within its conical structure.
