Avery Point Light was designed to help guide vessels through stormy waters. Still an important feature of the landscape today, it's bound to have some tales to tell about sailing successes and tragedies.
You'll find Avery Point Light in the riverside town of Groton. It's free to enter, so you can leave your credit card safely in your daypack. While you're in these parts, why not check out a few other great sights, such as Mystic Seaport - The Museum of America and the Sea, Mystic Seaport and Foxwoods Resort & Casino?
