Lighthouse National Register of Historic Places listed place

Add to collection Suggest a change

Turkey Point Light, Maritime lighthouse in Kent County, United States.

The white conical tower with black lantern markings stands 35 feet tall on a 100-foot bluff at the head of Chesapeake Bay.

John Donahoo constructed Turkey Point Light in 1833, following similar design principles used for Concord Point Light with eleven wicks and reflectors.

The lighthouse marks the retirement location of Fannie Salter in 1947, the last female lighthouse keeper in the United States.

Visitors can access the lighthouse through Elk Neck State Park, with weekend tours available to climb to the top of the structure.

The installation of a fourth-order Fresnel lens in 1855 enhanced the navigation capabilities for vessels traversing Chesapeake Bay waters.
