About Chaumont Harbor Lighthouse
Constructed in 1911, Chaumont Harbor Lighthouse stands at the head of Chaumont Bay on Independence Point. It was built to guide vessels navigating where the bay meets the open waters and to warn them of hazards. The lighthouse shares a design with the original Cherry Island lighthouse, reflecting common regional maritime needs. It was one of the first United States lighthouses to employ acetylene for illumination, a notable technological development. The structure has retained its original form since its construction. The light emits a white flash every 4 seconds.
Why it matters: This lighthouse aids vessels navigating Chaumont Bay, a significant waterway for local shipping and recreational craft. Its early adoption of acetylene lighting highlights its historical significance in lighthouse technology.
