The Rear Range Light was recently highlighted as one of the main attractions in Newburyport by NewsPub, in their article “9 Towns in Massachusetts with Beautiful Architecture.”
“Newburyport sits on the northern coast of Massachusetts not far from the New Hampshire line, and with about 19,000 residents it splits the difference between small town and small city in a way that works in its favor. The architecture is classic New England through and through. Aged brick buildings line most of the town center, sharing the streets with locally run shops and restaurants that have grown roots over the decades. Market Square is the natural place to start exploring, and you can easily spend an afternoon there without checking your watch once.
The Newburyport Harbor Rear Range Light is a stop worth making, and it doubles as one of the more unusual dinner reservations in the state. Through the Lighthouse Preservation Society, parties can rent the tower and dine at the top with the harbor spread out below. The lighthouse has been a fixture of the town’s identity for generations, and it carries the kind of character that does not need any embellishment.”
