Rose Island Light
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Rose Island Light is located on Rose Island, within Narragansett Bay, in the city of Newport, in the U.S. state of Rhode Island. It's an old lighthouse preserved, maintained and operated by the Rose Island Lighthouse Foundation. Also, the lighthouse is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The lighthouse also serves as a travel destination — visitors can, for a fee, spend the night at the lighthouse, or can spend a week as the "lighthouse keeper" (which involves completing many of the chores required to keep the lighthouse in good condition). Accommodations are arranged through the Rose Island Lighthouse Foundation. Travel to the lighthouse is possible only by boat.
