Avery Point Lighthouse

Avery Point Lighthouse stands on the shoreline of Long Island Sound in Groton, Connecticut, on the campus of the University of Connecticut at Avery Point. Completed in 1943, the distinctive square granite tower was built to assist vessels navigating the busy waters of eastern Long Island Sound during World War II. Overlooking Fishers Island Sound and nearby coastal communities, the lighthouse occupies a scenic location where maritime history, higher education, and New England's coastal landscape intersect. Today, it remains a beloved local landmark and one of Connecticut's most recognizable modern lighthouses.

This vintage-inspired Avery Point Lighthouse print celebrates one of Connecticut's most distinctive coastal landmarks. Drawing inspiration from the bold colors and simplified forms of WPA-era travel posters, the artwork highlights the lighthouse's unique architecture, rocky shoreline, and expansive views across Long Island Sound. Designed for lighthouse enthusiasts, maritime historians, Connecticut travelers, and collectors of New England landmarks, this piece honors a beacon that continues to define the character of Connecticut's southeastern coast.
