Explore the Historic Thacher Island

This national historic landmark leaves people amazed when learning about it. Thacher Island is currently the only operating twin lighthouses in America and was the last lighthouse built under British rule in 1771. Today, ongoing work includes repairs of the island and its structures, keeping them to their original 1800s condition and keeping it open to the public as a historical and educational establishment.
