The History of the Block Island Lighthouses
For anyone familiar with the Island, North and Southeast Lighthouses are the literal pillars of Block Island life, sitting as polar attractions. These days, the lighthouses are two of the monuments that tourists just have to check out when they come for a visit. The rich history is the draw (the views aren’t so bad either!) and both lighthouses are stories onto themselves! Both serve as true symbols to the past, present, and future of Block Island. Due to weather and shifting land, it took a few iterations but the lighthouses, made to help guide and protect mariners, are here to stay.
