Westchester County Executive George Latimer reopened the Tarrytown Lighthouse in Sleepy Hollow. A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held in commemoration of the completion of the $3.4 million capital project to fully revamp and rehabilitate the structure’s historic interior and exterior. The unveiling of the re-opened Westchester landmark also coincides with the 150th anniversary of the Town of Sleepy Hollow. Latimer said: “The Tarrytown Lighthouse is one of the most well-known landmarks in Westchester County, and it is the only lighthouse in the County. This capital project is another example of an existing destination that the County is restoring and refurbishing so that it can be enjoyed again by current and future residents. Having the Lighthouse completed in time to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Sleepy Hollow is a great way to mark this historic occasion” Learn more at westchestergov.com/home/all-…

While changing technologies like GPS have made lighthouses beacons of the past, many are still being preserved for future generations. Mark Strassmann reports on how some lighthouses are being saved from the storm of changing times.
