Visitors to Nantucket will find the coastline dotted with historic lighthouses, including Brant Point, the second-oldest light station in America. Existing structures include the circa-1856 lighthouse and keeper’s house, two range light towers (1908), oil house, storage building, garage, and boathouse (1936). It remains an active U.S. Coast Guard navigational aid.
