This is an amazing museum, my brother and I came here to visit Staten Island and it was amazing the lady was nice gave a private tour and showed her passion for lighthouses! Amazing experience
Small but interesting place with good foundational scientific facts about lighthouses and deeper historical information about the people and events around them. Staff is very helpful and knowledgeable
Bianca was incredible, friendly and knowledgeable...I got some info to make a donation, learned a thing or two, and found a geocache.......what a pleasant way to spend a few hours on this rainy Sunday
