Description
The beautiful Morgan Point Lighthouse sits serenely in Noank, Connecticut, on the west side of the mouth of the Mystic River. It is particularly striking because of the stone construction and lovely grounds sitting very close to the river.
In 1831 the original 25-foot granite tower was built. However, there were many complaints that the light was too dim, so as shipbuilding became more prominent in the area, a new lighthouse was needed and the current Morgan Point Lighthouse was built in 1868.
In 1919, Morgan Point was discontinued and later sold to a private owner.
