This beauty is called The Maid of the Meadows. It was erected in 1871 to warn mariners of the mud flats known as the Esopus Meadows.

This lighthouse guided us into the Rondout Creek, entrance to Kingston, the first capital of New York. The British burned the capital in 1777.

We are securely tied for the evening to the revamped historic waterside.

Looking forward to discovering more lighthouses tomorrow!
