The Lighthouse Museum

­For more than 185 years, this modest stone citadel — a lighthouse tower attached to a dwelling — has stood at the entrance to the harbor of Stonington, Connecticut’s only port facing on the Atlantic. Now fondly regarded as a durable symbol of a seafaring past, in its working years it performed the valuable service of guiding ships across treacherous Fishers Island Sound.

Please be aware that the Lighthouse Museum is not wheelchair accessible at this time. There are no ramps available. 

Beginning December 18, 2025, the Lighthouse Museum is closed for the winter. We will reopen in May 2026.
