  Little Brewster Island & Boston Light marks a main shipping entrance to Boston Harbor—New England's busiest port—which has been commercially active since the 17th century. Established in 1716, the original stone tower was the first lighthouse built in North America. The British destroyed Boston Light during the Revolutionary War in 1776. Rebuilt in 1783, the present light tower is recognized as the Nation's second oldest. Boston Harbor Light Station was designated a National Historic Landmark in January 1964, and is still an active aid to navigation (Museum only, no tower access).
