Horton Point Light, Historic lighthouse in Southold, United States
The granite and brick lighthouse stands 18 meters tall with a white tower structure topped by a black lantern and copper dome.
The lighthouse began operations in 1857 after President George Washington commissioned its construction to improve navigation safety in Long Island Sound.
The Southold Historical Museum's Nautical Museum occupies the lower level of the Keeper's House, displaying maritime artifacts and a fourth-order Fresnel lens.
The lighthouse and museum welcome visitors from Memorial Day weekend through mid-September, operating on Saturdays and Sundays between 11:30 AM and 4:00 PM.
The property maintains its original third-order Fresnel lens, and the light continues to guide ships with green flashes every ten seconds across 14 nautical miles.
