Jones Point Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

The last preserved historic beacon in Virginia with an eventful history, which begins with the commissioning on May 3, 1856. Original landmarks between District of Columbia, Virginia and Maryland are also in the immediate vicinity. It's fun to look for them. All of this is embedded in a beautiful, natural park landscape.
