The light station is a 10-acre property that has been in use aiding in maritime navigation for almost 250 years. The site features an 1820 light tower\, two keepers houses\, and historic trails. During your visit you will have the chance to explore the natural landscape\, learn about the history of the light station\, and relax on the island setting.  \nBoat Departure Location: Naumkeag departs from the Salem Ferry dock at 10 Blaney Street\, Salem MA 01970.  \nWhat You Need To Know Before You Go! (Frequently Asked Questions) \nHow much does the trip cost? \n\nAdults: $39\nChildren (4-12 yr): $29\nEssex Heritage Members receive a 20% discount!
