It is a well-preserved example of a mid-19th century stone lighthouse. The light was taken out of service in 1889 and now serves as a local history museum. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.[3] Description and historyThe Stonington Harbor Light is located at the southern end of Stonington Point, marking the eastern side of Stonington Harbor. The light station consists of the tower and keeper's house; both are built out of large granite blocks, and the keeper's house has a wood-framed ell attached. The tower is an octagonal stone structure {{convert|35|ft|m}} in height and {{convert|10|ft|m}} in diameter, with a circular glass lantern house on top. The house is 1½ stories and about {{convert|30|ft|m}} square.[4] The federal government built a lighthouse on Windmill Point in Stonington Harbor in 1824; it was housed in a small granite lighthouse and was known by the same name. However, erosion led to its being torn down and its materials reused in the construction of this lighthouse. The light was originally lit by an oil lamp and broadcast by eight parabolic reflectors. This technology was already obsolete at the time of the lighthouse's construction, and it was replaced by a sixth-order Fresnel lens in 1856.[4] In the 1880s, the Stonington Breakwater Light was constructed farther out in the harbor, and the Stonington Harbor Light was decommissioned in 1889. The site is now the home of the Stonington Historical Society which uses the building as The Old Lighthouse Museum. Holdings in the museum document the area's long and distinguished cultural and nautical history, and exhibits include the 1856 Fresnel lens. {{gallery|mode=packed|height=150|File:Stonington light.png| |File:Stonington_Harbor_Lighthouse_2007_side_view.jpg| |File:INTERIOR OF STONINGTON HARBOR LIGHTHOUSE, STONINGTON, CT.jpg| |File:StoningtonHarborLight1.JPG|View from the lantern room |File:StoningtonHarborLight2.JPG|Another view from the lantern room }} Head keepers{{div col|colwidth=22em}}
