Governor Cuomo Announces Start of Construction to Preserve and Repair Historic Saugerties Lighthouse

State Parks Commissioner Rose Harvey said, "The Saugerties Lighthouse is a defining feature of the Hudson River Valley. It is gratifying to see the work moving forward to help ensure this historic site can be enjoyed by future generations."

Constructed in 1869, Saugerties Lighthouse is Hudson River's oldest surviving lighthouse and has withstood repeated storms, but Tropical Storm Lee's and Hurricane Irene's flooding and a 12-foot storm surge damaged the lighthouse's 150-year-old bulkheads and piers, sending waves as high as the historic site's front doors. During those storms, a dike that protects the harbor channel failed, exposing the lighthouse's original stone foundation.

Crews will repair a large gap in the dike and make bulkhead, pier, and dock repairs in and around the Lighthouse. While the dike is important for preventing silting of the harbor channel, the bulkhead and pier protect the lighthouse, which is a community asset and historic building. The lighthouse serves a local recreation asset as well as a tourist attraction where people can picnic, hike, swim and fish, with rooms available to rent for overnight stays.
