In 1939 the cast iron Essex Light in Ipswich, MA was dismantled and brought to Edgartown by barge. The structure is located off North Water Street and offers views of Edgartown Harbor and Chappaquiddick Island across the channel. It is approximately 1/2 mile from the Church Street stop of the #13 and #1 bus. Maintained and recently restored by the Martha’s Vineyard Museum, the organization offers seasonal tours.
