Edward Cubanski III, commander of Coast Guard Sector Long Island Sound, opened the historic Stratford Point Lighthouse in Stratford, Conn., for free public tours Aug. 8, 2015. The property, which has been closed to the public since approximately 1973, was open to the public and had more than 2,000 people come out to climb the spiral staircase of Stratford light.
