Built in 1856 and once guiding ships at the mouth of the Patapsco River, it was decommissioned in 1988, relocated to the harbor, and is now part of the Historic Ships Baltimore Collection, Check online open dates and hours.

Absolutely amazing little lighthouse! Very well maintained!

I couldn't find affordable parking nearby to get closer to this lighthouse.

Do some research before you visit somewhere and then leave a review/comment.....you got a brain, put it to use. This place is amazing!!, even if you can't go inside. Why complain about; spending $2? closed when you went? smaller than you expected? I bet you also whine when your fire is too hot and your ice is too cold

$1 cash to visit the lighthouse. We paid the woman that was inside the lighthouse at the counter and then walked around inside. Great views inside of the lighthouse looking outside at the harbor, federal hill park, etc. Stairs to go up to the lighthouse is very sturdy and I felt safe. They have information in the light house about its history, what they used in it, tools, bed, past lighthouse keepers, etc. I had e-mail correspondence with Dayna and she was very helpful with pricing and hours of operation for the lighthouse since the hours for it really depend on staffing each day.

It doesn't get a lot of foot traffic because of its obscure location but is definitely worth a visit. The view from here is quite nice that someone during our visit chose it to propose to his girlfriend (it appeared that she said yes). There is a small museum inside that tells the story of the lighthouse and how it was moved to its current location after it stopped operating. Admission is free. Come visit if you have at least half an hour to spare.

Interesting piece of history. Will take less than 10 minutes to see, lots of stairs to climb to the top tho! It is free with the historic ships ticket, or $1 if you don’t have the ticket. You can go all the way up to the top of the light house and the view is nice. There are lots of artifacts and information on the walls.

Easy to get to. Wasn’t open. You can walk around underneath it. Great view of the water. You can see it from the concert venue next-door. Really unique and different than most houses.
