I thought I'd stay in the state of Massachusetts one more week, this time with a visit to the village (town?) of Scituate, and the Scituate Lighthouse.
That is located here on the map.
This is the Lighthouse Directory excerpted information for this one:
"1811 (heightened by 15 ft (4.5 m) in 1827). Reactivated (inactive 1860-1994; now privately maintained); focal plane 49 ft (15 m); white flash every 15 s. 50 ft (15 m) round granite and brick tower connected by a covered "runway" to a 1-1/2 story keeper's house. FA-250 lens. Tower painted white; lantern and gallery are green. The lantern is a replica installed in 1930. ... After being closed in 1860, the keeper's house was reopened (1891-1924) to serve the Scituate North Jetty Light. The light station has been restored through the efforts of the Scituate Historical Society and Cedar Point Association. The keeper's house is leased to a resident lightkeeper. In 2001 historical displays were installed in the covered walkway connecting the light tower and keeper's house."

Looks like it is regularly photographed: below are my selections.
