THE MONTAUK POINT LIGHTHOUSE HAS LONG BEEN FAMED AS THE SYMBOL OF LONG ISLAND AND ONE OF AMERICA'S OLDEST LIGHTHOUSES. AUTHORIZED IN 1792 BY THE SECOND CONGRESS UNDER PRESIDENT GEORGE WASHINGTON, IT WAS BUILT BY NEW YORK ARCHITECT, JOHN MCCOMB, IN 1796. ON MARCH 5, 2012, THE MONTAUK POINT LIGHTHOUSE WAS DESIGNATED A NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARK, JOINING THE RANKS OF ONLY 11 OTHER LIGHTHOUSES IN THE COUNTRY THAT HAVE BEEN SO HONORED BY THE SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR BECAUSE OF THEIR EXCEPTIONAL VALUE IN ILLUSTRATING AND INTERPRETING THE HERITAGE OF OUR NATION. THE LIGHTHOUSE TOWER AND MUSEUM ARE OPEN TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND TOURS ARE AVAILABLE FOR SCHOOLS AND OTHER GROUPS. EVENTS AND EXHIBITIONS ARE HELD THROUGHOUT THE YEAR ON THE LIGHTHOUSE GROUNDS. THE LIGHTHOUSE MUSEUM, WHICH IS LOCATED IN THE 1860 KEEPERS' HOUSE, DISPLAYS AN ASSORTMENT OF HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS AND PHOTOGRAPHS AND IS HOME TO SEVERAL UNIQUE COLLECTIONS. IN ADDITION TO THE HISTORIC BUILDINGS AND DWELLINGS, THE COLLECTION INCLUDES NAUTICAL INSTRUMENTS, SHIP MODELS, FURNITURE, AND WHALING INDUSTRY ARTIFACTS. THERE ARE EXHIBITS SHOWING THE HISTORY OF THE LIGHTHOUSE AND THE EROSION CONTROL EFFORTS THAT HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED OVER THE YEARS. THE LIGHTHOUSE MUSEUM'S COLLECTION FEATURES TWO EXCLUSIVE ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS. ONE OF THESE IS THE CONGRESSIONAL AUTHORIZATION TO CONSTRUCT A LIGHTHOUSE AT MONTAUK POINT AND IS SIGNED BY THEN SECRETARY OF STATE, THOMAS JEFFERSON. THE OTHER IS THE FEDERAL AUTHORIZATION TO PURCHASE THE LAND AT MONTAUK POINT FOR THE PURPOSE OF BUILDING A LIGHTHOUSE. THAT DOCUMENT IS SIGNED BY THEN PRESIDENT GEORGE WASHINGTON. THE SECOND HOUSE MUSEUM: SECOND HOUSE, BUILT IN 1746 AND REBUILT IN 1797, WAS ORIGINALLY A DWELLING FOR A LIVESTOCK KEEPER AND HIS FAMILY.

THE OLDEST AND MOST HISTORIC DWELLING STILL STANDING IN MONTAUK, IT REMAINS THE SUBJECT OF A METICULOUS RESTORATION BY THE TOWN OF EAST HAMPTON, WHICH HAS FINISHED ALL EXTERIOR WORK AND IS TURNING TO THE INTERIOR. AS WE AWAIT COMPLETION OF THE BUILDING, WE CONTINUE TO PLAN OUR NEW MUSEUM.
