In the Hudson River we passed by four unique lighthouses: Esopus Meadows, Rondout, Saugerties and Hudson/Athens.
The Esopus lighthouse, "Maid of the Meadows", is a unique wood frame structure built in 1871. It housed family keepers until 1939. An automated light was installed in 1975. The lighthouse is currently under-going restoration thanks to the "Save the Esopus Lighthouse Commission".
The Saugerties Lighthouse is operating throughout the week as a B & B.
The Hudson/Athens Lighthouse is located on Athens middle ground flats.
