In 1948, the lighthouse was nearly dismantled after the George Washington Bridge was built, but a public outcry, inspired by the children's book 'The Little Red Lighthouse and the Great Gray Bridge,' saved it.
Located under the George Washington Bridge, it stands as the last surviving lighthouse in Manhattan, offering a glimpse into the city's maritime history.
Before finding its home in New York City in 1921, the lighthouse was first constructed in 1880 and served on Sandy Hook, New Jersey.
The lighthouse hosts educational tours and events, allowing visitors to learn about its history and significance in New York's maritime past.
The lighthouse is part of the Fort Washington Park, which is managed by the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation.
