The eastern tip of Long Island, NY, known as "The End’ to the locals, is home to the 4th oldest active lighthouse in the US, the Montauk Point Light. Long before the erection of the Statue of Liberty the Montauk Point Light was the symbol of the promise of America to thousands of European immigrants. Turtle Hill, where the lighthouse was built, has a long history of signal fires being built on it by the Montauket Indians and the British.
