Stony Point Light (N.Y.)

Stony Point, NY, west side Hudson River. This is the oldest lighthouse on the Hudson River. It is part of the Stony Point Battlefield State Historic Site. The battlefield is the site of the midnight assault by the American Light Infantry against a British garrison in 1779. The light was deactivated in 1925, but in 1995 a fourth order lens on loan from the Coast Guard was placed in the tower. It is now lit on an unofficial basis. [Ref: http://www.lhdepot.com/].
