Beacons of Fire: Wing’s Neck Light, Cape Cod, MA

For all the posts in the Beacons of Fire Series, go here.

Prologue: I love Nora Roberts books, well her books mostly those that she wrote prior to 2009. One of her book is the 1985 romantic novel, One Man’s Art, fourth in her longest series, The McGregor Series. The hero of the story, Grant Campbell, is a loner, rude, surly and impossible, who lives in an old lighthouse. Genevieve Grandeau literally lands on his doorstep during one particular stormy night. The story that follows between Grant and Gennie is what inspired me to look at lighthouses in a different light.

The last lighthouse we visited in Cape Cod was Wing’s Neck Lighthouse. We learned after reaching there that it was on a private property and is actually rented out. You could rent it and stay there and be a lighthouse keeper for the period. Interesting. This has been my favorite of all that we visited in Cape Cod. 🙂
