Tibbetts Point Lighthouse, located in Cape Vincent, NY, is a historic landmark marking the confluence of Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River. Established in 1827, it features the only original working Fresnel lens on Lake Ontario and has undergone numerous renovations since its acquisition by the Town of Cape Vincent in 1991.
The lighthouse not only serves as a beacon for maritime navigation but also offers a unique hostel experience for visitors. With a rich history that includes the addition of a fog whistle in 1896 and the establishment of the Tibbetts Point Lighthouse Society in 1991, it continues to be a focal point for community events and tourism in the region.
