The Rear Range Lighthouse is the sister lighthouse to the Front Range Lighthouse, just a few blocks north on the waterfront. It was built in 1873 as one of two range lights for guiding ships up the river to the city's harbor. Today, the Rear Range Lighthouse offers tours and high-end dining experiences at the top of the lighthouse with the proceeds going toward the preservation of these historic structures. Both the Front and Rear Range Lighthouses were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987 and are considered iconic landmarks of Newburyport.

Support lighthouse preservation, and reserve 6 hours in the amazing lantern room for stunning views (2-4 people), and enjoy cuisine from 5 nearby restaurants. You will have to go up steep steps and ladder to access the dining area.
