According to
this history, this light was built in 1828 and rebuilt in 1876 with a fifth-order
Fresnel lens. The lens was upgraded to fourth-order in 1888.
As noted at the history, "there's a small parking area near the lighthouse, and the grounds are open to the public until dusk every day" and "there are occasional public open houses in season."
More information and scheduled open houses are listed here. It was closed the cold day we stopped.
