Reviewing our Visit to Portsmouth Lighthouse
Our son moved to New Hampshire this summer, so we made our first trip to visit his family in September. While there we all took a Sunday afternoon drive to the coast and visited the town of Portsmouth Harbor. I love lighthouses and I was anxious to show my two young granddaughters their first lighthouse.
The Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouse is just north of the city of Portsmouth on the grounds of Fort Constitution. Fort Constitution is a Revolutionary War fortification. My granddaughters enjoyed walking around the grounds and seeing the old fortress. After looking over the grounds we made our way to the lighthouse. The lighthouse was available for climbing that afternoon so several of us decided to make the climb. We found out the lighthouse is sometimes called Fort Point Light, New Castle Light, and Fort Constitution Light in addition to Portmouth Lighthouse.
The photo below shows my granddaughter Emily climbing the steps to the lighthouse with her Mom.

Here are several photos I took from on top of the 48 foot lighthouse. The first is the lens that can be seen for 12 nautical miles.
