Tibbetts Point Light, Lighthouse at Cape Vincent, United States.

The circular brick tower rises 18 meters above the water at the entrance of the Saint Lawrence River from Lake Ontario.

Built in 1854 on a 600-acre land grant given to Captain John Tibbetts of Troy, the lighthouse marked maritime routes for vessels.

The Tibbetts Point Lighthouse Historical Society grants two annual scholarships to senior students from the Cape Vincent community.

While the lighthouse grounds remain accessible every day throughout the year, the visitor center and museum maintain specific operating schedules.

The structure contains one of only seventy Fourth Order Fresnel lenses still functioning in the United States, projecting light for 16 nautical miles.
