overview : A mile offshore, beyond the reach of Newport’s utility lines and services, the Rose Island Lighthouse stands as an independent, energy-efficient building that was home to keepers and their families for over a hundred years. - It is maintained by keepers who sign on for a week at a time as part of our environmental education program, where people of all ages learn about the Lighthouse’s history and they experience , first-hand, the keeper’s self-sufficient, resourceful way of life.
