Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Guarding the entrance to Nantucket’s inner harbor for more than 250 years, the Brant Point Lighthouse is a prominent Nantucket landmark. Built in the 18th century, when the whaling industry was experiencing a boom period, the first Brant Point Light was erected in 1746.

The quaint Brant Point Lighthouse which you can admire today is a fairly new lighthouse, built in 1901 to replace a succession of former lighthouses which were destroyed by fire. The lighthouse was automated in 1965 and continues to light the way into Nantucket Harbor today. Although the lighthouse is closed to the public you can admire the structure from the surrounding grounds which are open to visitors.
