Review:
Set on the University of Connecticut's Avery Point Campus, the Avery Point Light is a historic lighthouse that was constructed in 1943 and lit for the first time in 1944. The lighthouse is widely recognized as the last one built in the state, and although its use was discontinued in 1967, it was restored and re-lit in the early 2000s. The site is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The grounds of the university are open to the public, and there is a beautiful walkway that runs along the shore and up to the lighthouse.
