The Greens Ledge Lighthouse off the coast of Norwalk and Darien
has recently re-opened following a major renovation project.
The lighthouse was built in 1902.
The Greens Ledge Light Preservation Society acquired the
lighthouse in 2017 with the mission of restoring and preserving the landmark.
The society raised $2 million from the community to renovate the
lighthouse. The lighthouse's foundation and interior were repaired,
among other projects.
The Greens Ledge Light Preservation Society is currently hosting
private events at the lighthouse. Society President Tim Pettee says the goal is
to offer public tours this fall and educational programs next
year in coordination with the Maritime Aquarium.
