let me start with a shop of the gazebo by the town wharf.

For those who missed the previous post, I am reusing some text from that post below and so I don't get accused of plagiarism of myself I will add it as the source
Ned Point Light as it is official called I believe is a historic lighthouse on Ned's Point Road in Mattapoisett, Massachusetts.
The lighthouse was built in 1838 at a cost of approximately $5,000, and named after Ned Dexter, a local farmer. Supervised by a local builder, Leonard Hammond, the lighthouse was constructed with a birdcage-style lantern similar to Bird Island Light found in Marion, Massachusetts.
All the stone used for the construction of the lighthouse was locally sourced, with most of it originating from nearby beaches.
Inside, Which I didn't get to see, are 32 granite steps that are cantilevered to the outside wall without the use of mortar. The original lantern used 11 whale oil lamps, each with its own parabolic reflector. And like other lighthouses I have read up on around here the Whale oil no doubt came from the New Bedford Whaling ships.
The Great Blizzard of 1888 significantly damaged the keeper's stone house, resulting in it being demolished and the building of a wooden replacement.
Following modernization in 1961, the lighthouse was reactivated in 1961 with its current 6-second isophase.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.

Once a symbol for a gift shop, this 38-foot seahorse now stands in a small park

Just near the town wharf is this lovely town beach, it is always so clean when i visit there unlike other beaches in the area where i often see trash left behind from beach goers.

That really does look like a rather peaceful place. That sea horse is certainly impressive! Neat that the town kept it.
IT is a lovely small town, has a charm to it, but properties there are out of my budget lOL
