NEW CASTLE -- The Friends of Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouse are holding their first open house of the 2008 season on Saturday, May 24, 2008,
from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. No reservations are needed; tours are on a first come, first served basis. Visitors get to climb to the lantern room to enjoy the magnificent view and to see the
fourth-order Fresnel lens up close. Volunteers will tell visitors
about the history of the light station, and there will be souvenirs for sale. To climb the lighthouse, a donation of $2 for adults and $1 for children is suggested.
No children under 42 inches tall are permitted to climb to the top, and adults are not permitted to carry children up the stairs. There are 44 stairs to the watch room and a 7-rung ladder to the
lantern room. Flat shoes (preferably not sandals or flip-flops) are required to climb the ladder into the lantern room.
The lighthouse is located off Route 1B in New Castle, adjacent to Coast Guard Station Portsmouth Harbor and the Fort Constitution
State Historic Site.
