Ned Point Light - Mattpoisett MA - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

With the support of the Massachusetts congressman (and former president) John Quincy Adams playing a vital role, Congress appropriated $5,000 on March 3, 1837, for a lighthouse at Ned's Point, at the north side of the entrance to Mattapoisett's harbor. The lighthouse was built in 1837-38 and first lighted in March 1838. A small stone dwelling was built close to the lighthouse.
