Heritage Lighthouse B+B in wetland location
Saugerties Lighthouse is located 42 miles from Albany NY. It is open year around as a bed & breakfast and contains a small museum, keeper's quarters, two bedrooms, kitchen and living room.
Lying off the Hudson River, the lighthouse offers a beautiful and unusual opportunity to step back to a less rushed pace and more traditional way of life.
This 1869 built lighthouse fell into disuse in the 1950's and 60's as a result of reducing traffic from local Saugerties. With the automation of the light, the original building fell into disrepair. A concerted campaign by the local villagers created a conservation trust who were able to purchase the buildings and associated wetland reserve for a nominal $1, in return for their agreement to restore this landmark. In 1990, the light was restored and the doors opened to the public to share this slice of history.
The lighthouse itself is constructed on an outlying spit of land, with a walk from where you leave your car.
