Piney Point Lighthouse was built in 1835. Located 14 miles from the Chesapeake Bay, the diminutive lighthouse guided Potomac river mariners until it was decommissioned in 1964. Today, it is part of the Piney Point Lighthouse Museum and Historic Park.
The lighthouse is only 35 feet tall, not much taller than the adjacent light-keeper's dwelling. The small building on the right was used for oil storage. The house is vacant now, but plans are underway to furnish it and open it to the public.
