The Beavertail Lighthouse in Jamestown, R.I.Jeremy D Entremont/Handout
PROVIDENCE â They have sweeping ocean views and historic significance, but after decades of service, the Beavertail Lighthouse in Jamestown and Watch Hill Lighthouse in Westerly are no longer needed by the U.S. Coast Guard.
The two lighthouses are being offered for free to qualifying public entities, the General Services Administration announced Thursday.
Under the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act, those who can apply to own the lighthouses at no cost include government agencies, nonprofits, educational agencies or community development organizations, or groups dedicated to parks and recreation, cultural or historic preservation.
