Winter Harbor Light

Winter Harbor was long a favorite safe harbor for mariners seeking shelter from storms. In 1856, a lighthouse was built for $4,000 on little (about four acres) Mark Island to guide vessels into the harbor and to warn of dangerous ledges nearby. The first keeper was Frederick Gerrish, and the lighthouse went into service on January 1, 1857.
