Gay Head Lighthouse


Located on the western end of Martha's Vineyard, Gay Head Lighthouse is located in Anniquah, Massachusetts.I did a research of the town and discovered that it was once inhabited by Indians. Gay Head was the first lighthouse constructed on Martha's Vineyard.

Gay Head Lighthouse was first constructed in 1799. The current structure was first lit in 1856 and automated in 1960.
