Crown Point Lighthouse - Lake Champlain |
 |
|
The Crown Point Lighthouse was built in 1858, and served at a narrow part of Lake Champlain, until 1926.

In 1912, the Crown Point Lighthouse was rebuilt and the 8 columns were added, to form a monument to Samuel de Champlain who was the first to explore the lake back in 1609. France contributed a bust of Champlain by Rodin, which remains at the site.
