Event Registration

This in-person guided walk explores the history of the National Lighthouse Museum and the Lighthouse Point site, once home to the U.S. Lighthouse Service’s General Depot. Participants will learn how this waterfront complex supported lighthouse construction and maintenance across the country, while also examining the daily lives of workers and keepers connected to the site. As we move through the grounds, we’ll trace the transformation from an active federal facility to a preserved museum space, highlighting architecture, maritime history, and the evolving relationship between New Yorkers and their harbor. Attendees should wear comfortable shoes and be prepared for light walking and standing.
