Info

The Newburyport Harbor Front Range Light is one of two historic range lights in Newburyport, Massachusetts. When it was built in 1873, it was located at Bayley's Wharf, and provided, in combination with the Rear Range Light, a critical aid for navigating into Newburyport's harbor. In 1964 the light was moved to its present location on the grounds of the Merrimack River Coast Guard Station. The stations is no longer in service, but serves as a daymark for arriving mariners.
The light was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987, and included in the Newburyport Historic District in 1984.
