Plum Island Lighthouse protects the delta of the Merrimack River, and was commissioned for the first time in 1788 with a lantern that burned whale oil. Its current form dates from the year 1898. In 1927 it began to work with electricity and was automated in 1952. As you can see the light it emits is green.
The lighthouse's surroundings are always accessible and the structure itself is open some days a year. There is a big public parking lot just crossing the street from the lighthouse.

DoubleTree by Hilton Boston North Shore

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, friendly staff, was a good location for us "

DoubleTree by Hilton Boston - Andover

10/10 Excellent

"Room was comfortable and clean upon arrival. It looked modern and updated. The location was a happy accident as far as our long weekend plans. It was close to the commuter rail to easily get into the city and we liked the cookies. Would definitely stay there again "
