Plum Island Lighthouse protects the delta of the Merrimack River, and was commissioned for the first time in 1788 with a lantern that burned whale oil. Its current form dates from the year 1898. In 1927 it began to work with electricity and was automated in 1952. As you can see the light it emits is green.
The lighthouse's surroundings are always accessible and the structure itself is open some days a year. There is a big public parking lot just crossing the street from the lighthouse.

10/10 Excellent

"Parking was the only difficulty with this property . The staff and facilities were top notch . Very very clean and super friendly from Zachary our initial contact at the front desk who was extremely personable and very helpful and freindly to the wait staff at the restaurant who were very patient made my wife and I's entire experience an absolute joy and we will definitely be staying here again."
