Stonington Harbor Light, Maritime museum and lighthouse in Stonington, Connecticut, US.
The granite octagonal tower rises 11 meters high at the entrance of Stonington Harbor, featuring a circular glass lantern house on top.
The federal government constructed the initial lighthouse in 1823, which was later rebuilt in 1840 using materials from the original structure.
The Old Lighthouse Museum displays maritime artifacts, including the original whale oil light and tools from the early Connecticut seafaring period.
Visitors can access the lighthouse by taking US I-95 to exit 91 and following directions through Stonington Village toward duBois Beach.
The structure remains the only lighthouse on the Connecticut mainland that regularly welcomes visitors to explore its historical collections.
