Saugerties Light, known also as the Saugerties Lighthouse is a lighthouse on the Hudson River north of Saugerties, New York. When it was built in 1869, it replaced the earlier 1838 lighthouse. Its Coast Guard service was ended in 1954 [http://www.hudsonlights.com/saugerties.htm Hudson Lights] ] It is currently managed by the non-profit Saugerties Lighthouse Conservancy which purchased the lighthouse in 1986 and has restored it. The conservancy manages the nature trail leading to the lighthouse, offers two bed and breakfast rooms and public tours. A small museum displays artifacts of the original lighthouse and the restoration efforts, as well as the history of the Saugerties waterfront.
