About this lighthouse

We could not match Whitlocks Mill Light to an entry in the current USCG Light List (Volume I) by name and position. It may be inactive, privately maintained, or listed under another name. We don’t mark it as active until that is confirmed.

The structure is recorded in the National Register of Historic Places. A National Register listing documents historic significance. It does not mean the public can visit.

Awaiting verification: Wikidata gives 1892 as the year this station or structure was established. We have not yet confirmed this against a primary source, so it is not shown as a fact. See the Wikidata lead.
