At one time, the beacon of light could be found across almost all of America’s shorelines. Once lit by open fire and candles, they're now brightly lit by electric or oil-fueled lamps. However, the number of lighthouses are declining. Maintenance is expensive and modern electrical navigation systems are replacing them. The first lighthouse in the United States was Boston Light, located on Little Brewster Island in Boston Harbor. It was first lit on September 14, 1716...but the oldest existing lighthouse in the United States is the Sandy Hook Lighthouse in New Jersey. Built in 1764, this lighthouse is still in operation. lighthouses are maintained and operated by The United States Coast Guard....go on a lighthouse tour.
