Vermont
Many of you may disbelieve that Vermont has lighthouses. After all, it doesnt border on a Great Lake, or on the Ocean. But it does have lights on Lake Champlain. We havent visited them yet, but here are the references to them.
| VT 1 |
Windmill Point
latitude 44° 58' 55.1" N longitude 73° 20' 28" W
From Highway 9 just south of Rouses Point (NY), turn east onto Stony Point Road. Near the end of the road you will find a breakwater, which affords fair views of the lighthouse. ARLHS # USA-895
