Highland Light


Highland Light in Truro, Mass is both the oldest and tallest lighthouse on Cape Cod. The light station was first established in 1797, and the current lighthouse was built in 1857. It is shown here in 1859 and 2014. Aside from the loss of the assistant keepers' house, which was demolished in 1961, the only significant change is the location of the lighthouse; it was moved about 450 feet away from the cliff in 1996 in order to protect it from coastal erosion.
