COLCHESTER REEF LIGHTHOUSE, VT
Order No. 181

ABOUT: Colchester light was built in 1871 at a cost of $20,00 when lumber transportation was at its peak on Lake Champlain. There were dangerous shoals near the Colchester Point shore. The foundation was damaged several times by severe storms and crushing ice flows. The lighthouse was a second empire style with a fixed red light from a sixth-order Fresnel lens. Supplies were brought to this lonely dwelling once a year by a lighthouse tender out of New York. In 1933 an automated buoy light replaced the lighthouse. However, in 1952, Mrs. J. Watson Webb, collector of New England memorabilia and founder of the Shelburne Museum, purchased the lighthouse to add to her collection. The structure was disassembled and reerected on the grounds of the museum. The lighthouse can be visited on the museum grounds
