Visit inside New London Harbor Lighthouse.
We give tours year-round.
Meet at the lighthouse, then climb 116 steps to the lantern room -- all the while learning about the 260-year history of Harbor Light, one of the oldest lighthouses in the country, and the tallest on Long Island Sound. The views at the top are spectacular! photo: Christina Corcoran.
The visit takes around 45 minutes. Everyone uses hand sanitizer and we all wear masks.
Tours for one small Covid pod of up-to four people may be arranged by emailing [email protected].
Suggested donations are $35 for adults, $30 for NLMS members, & $25 for youth 7-to-18 years old.
