Cape Ray Lighthouse

After the original 1871 lighthouse was struck by lightning and burned in 1885, it was replaced by the current version. The compound has artifacts from the nearby Dorset Paleo-Eskimo archaeological site, plus pictures of the site and keepers, and community memorabilia. The grounds of the lighthouse complex are open to the public, but the structure itself is closed.
