Such a pretty lighthouse , keeper has great knowledge about the lighthouse history .
Beautiful day cool breeze. The view is worth the drive from Denton Md.
Cute little light house with a small visitors center. Lots of information on the history. You can go into the base of the lighthouse but you can't walk up it. It is free and very neat but I wouldn't drive all the way up just to see it. We were maybe only there a half hour at most. Worth the stop if you are in the area. Plan additional activities if you're coming in from somewhere else.
We enjoyed our visit and the DVD presentation about the lighthouse. The docent was very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. The day was perfect- 80s and a mild breeze. Glad we went!
Historically interesting. There are some good, explanatory displays.
The map showing all the lighthouses in the Chesapeake Bay region brings home how dependent folks were on lighthouses for coastal navigation, and how important coastal navigation was to the economic development of the region.
The lighthouse keepers' residences are for rent. If you like an isolated, waterfront vacation not too far from the city, this could be it.
