Very friendly staff. Knowledgeable. Many stories to share. Quaint little lighthouse in a quaint little village. Many shops nearby. Beautiful scenery. Nice little town beach down the rd. Big parking area very close Port o potty next to beach entrance. All of this within the walk from your parking spot to the lighthouse

Historic lighthouse in old Stonington Connecticut, along the Connecticut coast. This is a beautiful historic lighthouse located at the end of the road, in old Stonington. Apparently only open on the weekends, We cannot verify when it’s open because there were no signs to let us know, but it was not open on a Thursday. It looks like they’ve done some recent renovations inside. But this is a great old historic White House, and we would’ve loved to of visited the inside. Need some signage.

Buying tickets in advance ensured a spot, and it was super easy to do on my phone. You can park on Stonington Point, but you're missing out on shops, architecture and restaurants if you don't walk Water Street. It's a pretty cramped lighthouse, and you have to climb a ladder to get to the top. Even though it's not one of the higher lighthouses on the coast, you are still treated to a pretty awesome view. Only a few people are allowed in the tower at a time, and masks are required for everyone. The exhibits on the main floor were interesting, and the grounds and shoreline attached to the building are worth the visit.

Super cool little museum! Me and my boyfriend went as a side trip on our way back home from the aquarium. The Stonington Historical Society is a bunch of really cool people who are just excited to tell you the history of the town. I highly recommend it! It's a short tour but it's packed with information and you get to explore the tower of the lighthouse! Talk about an amazing view 🥺

Hi. Is this place free to the public and is there near by parking lots?

It is not free, there are different prices to view just the lighthouse or both the museum and lighthouse. There is parking available at the oceanfront nearby.
