| Sheffield Island Lighthouse |
Lighthouses embody the maritime heritage of the United States. In Norwalk Connecticut one of these treasures still stands in part due to a great restoration project. It sits on Sheffield Island one of the islands of the Norwalk Archipelago. A bright blue ferry rides out to the island each summer and early fall bringing visitors the opportunity to explore history and the natural beauty of the islands and it's wildflowers and wildlife. Enchanted from my trip to the island, I was curious to hear more about it's History. Captain Mark Schlegel and Peter Bondi were my guests on a program about Sheffield Island.
Captain Mark Schlegel talked about the history of the Lighthouse and the many lighthouse keepers who cared for it and the past and do still.
