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.
