Highland Lighthouse is Cape Cod’s oldest and tallest lighthouse. The first lighthouse built
in 1797, was commissioned by George Washington. The second lighthouse, built in 1831,
was visited by Henry David Thoreau. The present-day lighthouse was built in 1857, and was
the subject of a painting by Edward Hopper. In 1996, the lighthouse was moved 450 feet from edge of the cliff. Last climb is at 6:30 pm.
