Boston Light by Sally Snowman

July 24, 2024 by Staff Writer

Mon., 7/29, 6 p.m., at the Acushnet Public Library, 232 Middle Rd. Join us for a power point presentation of Boston Lights’ 307 years of history and a few anecdotes of Sally’s experiences as a 21st Century Keeper. 

Boston Light, the first established light station in colonial America, began lighting the way for safe navigation into the fledgling maritime port of Boston in 1716. Situated on Little Brewster Island at the entrance to Boston Harbor. However, its notoriety in the maritime community as the “last manned Coast Guard Light Station” in the country came to a closure with the retirement of Sally Snowman.
