Point Lookout Lighthouse, located at Maryland's southern tip within Point Lookout State Park, was built in 1883 to aid navigation at the Chesapeake Bay entrance. Its historical significance includes serving as a Union military prison during the Civil War. Automated in 1930 and decommissioned in 1966, preservation efforts by the Point Lookout Lighthouse Preservation Society have restored the lighthouse and keeper's quarters. The site is open to the public, allowing visitors to explore its rich maritime history. Besides its role in navigation, the lighthouse gained a reputation for paranormal activity. Today, it stands as a preserved testament to the region's maritime heritage and wartime past.
