Item Description
Rose Island Lighthouse is located on an 18-acre island, set a mile into Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island. Built in 1869, it is a working lighthouse just minutes away from the quaint colonial town of Newport.
Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, the Rose Island Lighthouse museum (restored circa 1912) is open to the public from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. After it closes, the two museum bedrooms on the first floor become available for overnight “keepers” who want to step back in time to experience turn-of-the-century lighthouse life first-hand.
Restored right down to the pitcher pump at the pantry sink, the museum is fully furnished with all the pots, pans, dishes, and utensils you’ll need – just as if its keepers of old still lived there. You are responsible for changing your beds and putting the rooms back in order by 10 a.m. when the museum reopens. Cleaning supplies and fresh linens are provided.
