Pam Kane (Illusions216) > Cove Point Lighthouse, located on Maryland's Southern Shore continues to illuminate the edges of the Chesapeake Bay for mariners traveling from the Atlantic Ocean to the Baltimore Harbor.
The light is still operated by the U.S. Coast Guard but is owned by the Calvert Marine Museum. Although the attraction is surrounded by chain link fence, it is open to the public from 1 - 4 in the summer.
Pam Kane (Illusions216) > Cove Point Lighthouse was built in 1828 to mark the shoal that extends outwards toward the shipping channel. A total of four acres was purchased at a cost of $300. Today only two acres remain (the other two were given to the liquid natural gas terminal for a safety zone). The light tower and the keeper's house were constructed of locally manufactured brick. The cost of the entire project was $2000.
