Avery Point Lighthouse, Groton, Connecticut
Avery Point Lighthouse, Groton, Connecticut, United States (New England) Avery Point Lighthouse was only active as a navigational aid from 1944 to 1967, and it never had a keeper.

In 1969, the land was returned to the State of Connecticut at no cost, and became part of the University of Connecticut at Avery Point campus. Restoration took place from 2000-2006. The New London Harbor Lighthouse and New London Ledge Lighthouse can also be viewed from the campus. Directions: Follow CT 349. Turn onto Benham Road.
