I walked down to the river today to check out Manhattan's last remaining lighthouse! It's under the George Washington Bridge and looks out over the Hudson River. Originally known as "Jeffrey's Hook Lighthouse", it was in use from 1921 to 1932.
Hildegarde H. Swift wrote a children's book about it in 1942 -
The Little Red Lighthouse and the Great Gray Bridge. And that is your history lesson for today!
