The tower was automated in 1988 and was damaged beyond repair by a collision with the oil tanker Aegeo in October, 1996. The structure was then demolished and replaced with a small light tower/platform.

This stretch of 125-mile-long Lake Champlain is quite narrow, averaging only two miles in width. Barber’s Point was thus a logical place for a ferry, and records indicate that Hezekiah Barber operated one that crossed Lake Champlain between Barber’s Point, NY and Arnold Bay (Panton), VT. The geography at Barber’s Point also made it a prime candidate for a lighthouse.

  • 20 Gorgeous Places to Visit in New York State
    20 GORGEOUS PLACES TO VISIT IN NEW YORK STATE BY IRINA GONZALEZ MAY 21, 2014 New York City is a wonderful place to visit (or shoot a movie in!), and an even more wonderful place to life if you happen to find yourself so lucky. But when we think “New York," we tend to forget that the city is just one small part of a larger, even more amazing state. While travel to Brazil may not always be in our price range, there is tons of natural beauty right here in the U.S. To inspire you to travel this year, we’ve gathered the 20 most gorgeous places to visit in New York State—from Riesling wine country in the Finger Lakes region to the Montauk Point Lighthouse, it’s time to get out there! Saranac Lake Peaceful and gorgeous -- that’s the perfect way to describe this part of the Adirondacks in upstate New York. This view, from the Ampersand Bay Resort & Boat Club, is breathtaking in the middle of winter, but even better in the summer. (We know, hard to believe.) Head into town and have a lovely meal at Freestyle Cuisine, then walk around and shop or get a coffee at Left Bank Cafe. Be sure to check out the Winter Carnival for extra fun in February. Hudson Valley Home to a ton of cute little towns along the Hudson River, running north to south down the eastern edge of New York State, there is more to do here than you can imagine. From visiting Madava Farms in Duchess County, home of organic maple syrup Crown Maple, to checking out Mohonk Mountain House in Ulster County, a National Historic Landmark, you can easily get there from New York City.

  • Historical Research Report on the Kingsland Point Lighthouse
    HISTORICAL RESEARCH REPORT ON THE KINGSLAND POINT LIGHTHOUSE PART A HISTORICAL RESEARCH REPORT ON THE KINGSLAND POINT LIGHTHOUSE by Marilyn E. Welgold, Ph.D. • Associate Prof, of History Pace University September 18, 1979 PART A The task of researching the Kingsland Point Lighthouse was facilitated by the work done by Cblonel Charles H. Roe whose excellent article on the history of the lighthouse appeared in the Westchester Historian in the fall of 1968. The section of Jeff Canning's and Wally Buxton's (pseudonym of William C. Gross) History of the Tarry- towns dealing with the lighthouse was extremely helpful as were Mr. Buxton's newspaper articles and the work done by Lewis Rubinstein for the Hudson River Valley Commission's Hudson River Lighthouses. Documen­ tation and oral history material collected by Christopher Lennox for the Historical Society of the Tarrytowns also proved useful as did the fine report written for the County of Westchester by Mary J. Madigan of American Arts and Antiques Magazine. Building upon the firm foundation laid by the aforementioned experts, this researcher visited numerous libraries and archives in search of those elusive gems of historical information which can bring an inanimate object like a lighthouse to life. Having served as a consultant to the Nassau County Museum, the Wildcliff Museum and Natural Science Center in New Rochelle, and the Gregory Museum in Hicksville, Long Island and as president of the Huguenot-Thomas Paine Historical Association and member of the board of directors of the -2- latter organization as well as the Westchester County Historical Society, the researcher approached the problem of the Kingsland Point Lighthouse from a museological standpoint.

  • Trip Across New York Challenge Routes
    Trip Across New York Challenge Routes Pick your route, mix up your routes, mix up your mode of travel; it’s your challenge! Imagine yourself in these places while you walk, run, bike, swim or roll the equivalent distances. See distance conversion charts at the end of this document. And who knows—you might want to visit some of these places in person! Route 1: Long Island Week 1: Let’s start at the world famous racetrack at Belmont Park in Elmont, NY, home of the "Belmont Stakes". One lap is 1.5 miles. Next, let’s paddle (in our imaginations) down the Connetquot River, which is 6 miles long. Total for the week: 7.5 miles. Week 2: Up for more paddling? Take a trip down Carman’s River (10 miles) and the Nissequogue River, which is 8.3 miles long. Did you know “Nissequogue” comes from the name of a Native American tribe that lived in the area? The Nissequag were a subgroup of the Algonquians that built their homes alongside the river. Total: 18.3 miles. Week 3: Even though Queens and Brooklyn are part of New York City, they are geographically located on Long Island, along with Nassau and Suffolk Counties. At its widest point, Long Island is 23 miles wide. Can you go that distance this week? Week 4: Famous for its pristine beaches, quaint communities and for having no cars, Fire Island consists of two barrier islands off the south shore of Long Island. It is approximately 31 miles long. Finish out the month with a trek from one end to the other! For extra credit, hike the Nassau-Suffolk Greenbelt Trail between Long Island's two main counties.
