Item Description

Two tickets on a 2024 tour of Pomham Rocks Lighthouse.

Take a tour of the historic 1871 Pomham Rocks Lighthouse. The last of five lighthouses situated on the Providence River, this lighthouse is still a working navigational light and has been beautifully restored both inside and out.

To get to Pomham Rocks Lighthouse, you will take a 15-minute boat ride to the island from the Edgewood Yacht Club in Cranston and sail across the Bay to the lighthouse. Tours will also give a nod to the other lighthouses that lit the way for mariners since the nineteenth century at the northern end of the Bay.

There are numerous display boards throughout the lighthouse from which you will learn about the history of the local lighthouses and the keepers. After touring the historic interior, there is an opportunity to climb to the lantern room where you will enjoy beautiful views of Narragansett Bay and the working port of Providence.

Knowledgeable docents will also be available to answer any questions you may have and perhaps tell you a story or two. During the last half hour of the visit the gift shop (located in the former oil room) will be open for business. We accept cash, checks, or credit cards.
