The Marblehead Lighthouse

Well preserved, it stands steady and able to protect the sailors who pass by from the rocky shoreline. It is celebrated, most photographed, and the most identifiable icon of the area. The Lighthouse Keeper has since gone and an electrical beacon has replaced him. Built in 1822, a State Park allows visitors to serenely enjoy not only the lighthouse but the calm lapping of the waters onto its shoreline.
