Cape Cod Light
The current tower dates from 1857; it's the oldest and tallest lighthouse on Cape Cod. In the early 1990s, due to beach erosion, Highland Light was in danger of falling down a cliff. During the summer of 1996 it was moved to its current resting place, 450 feet to the west. Closed during 2019 for extensive renovations, although the Keepers Shop store and exhibit areas should remain open.
