Rose Island Lighthouse, built in 1870, stands on an 18-acre island in Narragansett Bay that also holds the ruins of Fort Hamilton. It was restored by the Rose Island Lighthouse Foundation, which welcomes overnight guests and day visitors. Ghost Hunters featured the island, and local stories blame the ghost of a former keeper, Charles Curtis, for activity in the lighthouse.
Reached by boat; the foundation runs seasonal tours and overnight stays, so book ahead. The island is a wildlife area, so please follow the rules.
