5 /5 Custom Cleaning: My husband and I did the lighthouse tour today. Our group left by boat to get to the lighthouse and we were there about an hour or so and returned by boat. This lighthouse is celebrating its 150th anniversary this year and is still operating its original filing bell, among the last of its kind.It’s a great educational museum and it appeals to kids and adults… knowledge guides are placed all around inside and outside of it and share lots of history and interesting tidbits and stories. We enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting in the Hudson, NY area… whole tour takes about an hour and half.
