The Watch Hill Lighthouse

Keeping a watchful eye over the beautiful coastal village of Watch Hill,
The Watch Hill Lighthouse is located at the most southwestern point of Rhode Island.
The Watch Tower opened in 1745 and the Lighthouse opened in 1801.
As with most lighthouses, it has an interesting history,
if you are a history buff, you can read about it here.

These are spectacular photos of Watch Hill Lighthouse and the shore line. Thanks for these; I am saving them for the future.
I am a history buff, so I will check the link out. I find it incredible that the lighthouse is in such great condition being that old.
Blessing and hugs!

neat to see all the other buildings along with it, you don't always see that. Looks like there was a bit of choppy waters that day, bet that helped to keep things a little cooler. Beautiful skies!
