History of Stage Harbor

A brief history of this majestic lighthouse and my thoughts as I photographed this beautiful lighthouse.

Stage Harbor

After a mile long hike about 30 minutes along a sandy road lined with sea grass, wild roses, and sand dunes. We approached Stage harbor Light. This light is the youngest of the Cape Cod lighthouses. It was built in 1880 and it was decommissioned in 1933. In 1933 the automated light on a skeleton tower replaced Stage harbor Light. The government removed the lantern and capped the tower. The land and lighthouse became private property when Henry Sears Hoyt purchased it. The Hoyts still own this property today. There is no electricity or plumbing except one small pump.

I think this one is my favorite lighthouse to photograph because of the pristine landscape that surrounds it. The wild life and bird sanctuary that is in the area brings a very peaceful feeling to this lighthouse.
