Jamestown
Beavertail Lighthouse
In your travels to or from Newport, be sure to take in the Beavertail Lighthouse, the most visited landmark in Jamestown. Constructed in 1749 out of wood with a 58-foot high tower, the lighthouse was rebuilt in 1753 after fire destroyed the original. This is the third oldest lighthouse in the nation, and the lighthouse museum was opened in 1989 in the restored lighthouse assistant keeper’s home.
