Windmill Point Light, Lighthouse in Alburgh, United States
The northernmost lighthouse on Lake Champlain stands at 40 feet tall and features an octagonal tower made of blue limestone with solar-powered illumination.
The first lighthouse at Windmill Point was established in 1830 as a private structure, later replaced by the current building constructed by Ellis and O'Neil in 1858.
Clarinda Mott served as the first keeper from 1859 to 1862, establishing her position as the only female lighthouse keeper in Vermont's maritime history.
The lighthouse flashes white every four seconds with a range of 9 nautical miles, operating as an active navigational aid for vessels on Lake Champlain.
During Prohibition, the keeper's house transformed into a customs service station to monitor and prevent smuggling operations across the Canadian border.
