By the end of the 1700s shipping into the Merrimack River was increasing and fires were lit on Plum Island to aid boats. Beacons were erected in 1783 and the first two lighthouses in 1788. These were improved over the years and eventually automated in 1951.

Today, the lighthouse is owned by the friends of Plum Island light. It's occasionally open to the public.

Small lighthouse and a nice little beach next to the mouth of the Merrimack river. Also, the only shellfish cleaning facility in the entire state is right next door.
