Turkey Point Light Station Inc. is a historic lighthouse located in North East, Maryland. The lighthouse was built in 1833 and has served as a navigational aid for ships traveling on the Chesapeake Bay for over 180 years. The lighthouse is a cylindrical brick tower that stands 35 feet tall and is painted white with a red roof. The light station is situated on a 100-acre property that includes a keeper's house, a boat ramp, and hiking trails.

The Turkey Point Light Station was decommissioned in 1947, and the property was acquired by the state of Maryland in 1962. In 2002, the Turkey Point Light Station Inc. was established as a non-profit organization with the goal of preserving and restoring the lighthouse and keeper's house. The organization has been successful in restoring the lighthouse and keeper's house to their 19th-century appearance.

Today, the Turkey Point Light Station Inc. is open to visitors who can climb to the top of the lighthouse and enjoy panoramic views of the Chesapeake Bay. The keeper's house has been converted into a museum that showcases the history of the lighthouse and the Chesapeake Bay. The property is also used for events such as weddings and corporate events. Overall, the Turkey Point Light Station Inc. is a unique and historic destination that offers visitors a glimpse into the past and the natural beauty of the Chesapeake Bay.

The crew straightened the tubes protecting the young trees and fixed stakes that had become loose or broken. “Tree maintenance isn’t just important, it's critical,” said Jim Kauffman, Pennsylvania Forests Project Coordinator for the Alliance. “Ninety percent of trees planted would die without maintenance.” (Photo by Caroline Grass/Chesapeake Bay Program) USAGE REQUEST INFORMATION The Chesapeake Bay Program's photographic archive is available for media and non-commercial use at no charge.
