Visiting & access tiers
Every light on this site carries one access tier, stamped with the source it came from and the date it was checked. A tier is only upgraded from the default when an owner, operator, or federal custodian actually publishes the access information. Where nobody publishes anything, the page says exactly that — it never guesses.

Hours & fees
Hours and fees are printed only when they come from the owner or operator's own current page, labeled with the season and the date we checked. Otherwise they are omitted and the page links to the owner instead. 1 light(s) currently carry check-dated hours/fees.
Private residences
Some historic towers are private homes. This site publishes no street address for any light — only the town and state — and it suppresses map positions for private residences.
