Tarrytown Light

Tarrytown Light, also known as Kingsland Point Light and Sleepy Hollow Light, was built on a Hudson River shoal near Tarrytown and Ossining to warn ships away from dangerous waters along a busy route. Construction began in 1882, and the light was lit in 1883 as a five-story conical steel lighthouse with living quarters inside the tower, an unusual design on the Hudson. It was the only family station on the lower river and the only lighthouse in Westchester County. After losing its navigational role, it was decommissioned in 1961, later preserved as a landmark, restored, and reopened for public tours in 2024.
