Avery Point Lighthouse in Groton, CT

I wish you could have been there last Sunday when the plywood, that was covering the enrtyway into this small but unique lighthouse, was removed and we got a look inside.

This lighthouse has been dark and neglected since 1967, when the U. S. Coast Guard vacated the site and it was turned over to the state of Connecticut. The University of Connecticut now has a campus here and interest in saving this jewel is growing.

The lighthouse was originally built as a memorial to lighthouse keepers everywhere. It would be a fitting tribute if Harbour Lights were to replicate this lighthouse and donate some of the profit from each sale to the restoration efforts.

You can make a difference, but first visit the website and photo albums to learn more about the lighthouse and the people who are trying to save her. Thanks for caring.
