Review & FAQ:

Situated on a 60-acre island, the Bakers Island Lighthouse has been owned and operated by the United States federal government since 1798 up until 2014. In 2014, the lighthouse, which is part of a 10-acre light station, was transferred to the ownership of the Essex National Heritage Commission, which passionately restored the masonry lighthouse to its 1700s glory. Visitors can visit the lighthouse via a landing craft called the Naumkeag and can take guided tours of the Bakers Island Lighthouse. As the lighthouse is within a privately owned island, tours and travel to the lighthouse can only be availed via Essex Heritage.
