Facts about the light
Showing a fixed red light that could be seen for eleven miles, this unique
light also had a fog bell that operated by winding it like a clock. During
fog and low visibility, the bell sounded every twenty seconds.
the lake to freeze over.
Visitors would come out to visit or bring
supplies by horse drawn sleighs. Otherwise, one would have to row a few
miles to get provisions.
The light was deactivated in 1933. In 1952, the Shelburne Museum bought it.
It was then dismantled and moved to its present location in Shelburne, VT.
I have painted the light in its original, beautiful setting on Lake Champlain.
