About Rondout Lighthouse

Rondout Lighthouse stands on the Hudson River in Kingston, New York, accessible by boat through the Hudson River Maritime Museum. Visitors reach the lighthouse aboard the Solaris, a vessel operated by the museum, learning about its maritime history during the cruise. The museum operates guided tours and educational programs focused on Hudson River heritage and maritime traditions. The broader museum campus offers exhibits including Tides of War, Working Waterfronts, New Age of Sail, Warning Signs, Mary Powell, and Rescuing the River. Beyond the lighthouse visit, the museum operates a Woodworking School with youth and adult boat-building classes, a Sailing School offering instruction for both adults and youth, and Sea Scouts programming. The museum also hosts a lecture series and school programs. Tickets for lighthouse tours are sold online through the museum's website. The attraction suits visitors interested in regional history, maritime culture, and river-based education.
