This 1859 structure is one of the nation's most historic lighthouses.
Still an active aid to navigation where the Delaware Bay meets the
Atlantic Ocean, it has been restored as a quality maritime museum. View
informative displays or shop for lighthouse memorabilia in the Visitors'
Orientation Center, then climb the 199 step spiral staircase to the top
for a spectacular panoramic view. Join us for the living history
experience, THE KEEPER'S ON DUTY, when Harry and Belle Palmer greet you
at the top with tales of their life and work in the 1920s.
