Revolutionary Harbor: Lighthouse Keeping in the 21st Century; Sally Snowman and Boston Light
Explore the history and future of Boston Light with Sally Snowman, retiring lighthouse keeper of Boston Light.
On Little Brewster Island, Boston Light stands as the oldest continuously operating light station in the country. During the past twenty years, Coast Guard Auxiliarist Sally Snowman has served as the lighthouse keeper and lived on Little Brewster. During that time, she has become the foremost expert on Boston Light, published several books, and redefined what it looks like to serve as a lighthouse keeper in the 21st century. We invite you to join Sally as we explore the history and future of Boston Light, key innovations to lighthouse keeping and their impact, and Sally’s experience as the first female lighthouse keeper of Boston Light.
