Lighthouses of New England

Jamestown's most-visited landmark provides an unparalleled panoramic view of Narragansett Bay. The current lighthouse was built in 1856, though the original station dates back to 1753. British soldiers retreating from Newport burned the tower and removed the lighting equipment, leaving the beacon darkened for the rest of the Revolution. See website for details on tours.
