About this lighthouse
We could not match Three Sisters of Nauset 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.
