ABOUT
Montauk Point Lighthouse Museum
Located at the 1860 Keepers’ house, the Montauk Point Lighthouse Museum is home to historical documents and photographs. Two documents (one signed by Thomas Jefferson and one signed by George Washington) authorize both the federal purchase of land at Montauk Point and authorization to construct the lighthouse — which is the oldest in New York State. Other industrial artifacts from the 19th century are also available to view. Guided tours of the museum are available.

Lighthouse Lesson Plan
The first known lighthouse was the Pharos of Alexandria, Egypt. Ptolemy I and his son, Ptolemy II, constructed it between 300 and 280 BC. It stood about 450 feet high. This lighthouse was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It was destroyed in stages by invaders and earthquakes, being destroyed in the 1300s.
There were never more than about 850 lighthouses in operation at once, although about 1,500 were constructed in this country over the years—the hey-day being about 1910.
