A QR Armchair Tour at Beavertail
We are very excited to bring you an Armchair Tour of Beavertail State Park. The QR Tour signs placed at various locations throughout the park a few years ago are a popular activity for visitors to explore and learn about park. You can now take the guided virtual tour by clicking the button below. Click each step listed on the web page and then click the blue marker placed on the map at the QR sign location for that step, or you can simply click red circles on the map for each QR sign location.
Either way, a page for that location will open to give you its related information. Within the 21 sites, you will find facts about the Fog Signals, Battery Whiting, Brenton Reef, Vessel Identification, and environmental material. The QR Armchair Tour is an enjoyable way to educate yourself about Beavertail Park’s unique characteristics and the significant activities that have helped shape the landscape in the past years.
Beavertail Archives Web Site
Over the years The Beavertail Lighthouse Museum Association has collected literally thousands of documents and photos dealing with the history and operation of the Light Station.
We have recently begun the task of creating an on line Archives for the purpose of documenting and organizing these items and to give us the ability to share them with you.
We have started with a collection of the “Lighthouse Logs”, the BLMA newsletter. The “Lighthouse Log” has been published quarterly since the formation of BLMA. So far we have scanned over 50 issues going back to 1986, and are in the process of adding searchable Tables of Contents to these scans.
If you visit the archives you will see, in addition to the Newsletters Collection, several exhibits utilizing videos and slideshows that we have developed over the years for use in the museum. Click the “Browse Exhibits” button to see what’s there.
Our plan is to continue adding items to the Archives, building exhibits and collections that will be of interest. We also plan to include “Virtual Tours” of our buildings.
Visit the Archives by clicking “The Archives” button in the menu at the top of this page or going directly to https://beavertaillight.org/archives/
