This lighthouse is located on the campus of UConn and so it's a little harder to find than most. You're also going to have some parking restrictions but if you look for "visitor" parking and don't overstay your welcome, you should be fine.
Construction on this brown concrete structure completed in 1943 and is officially listed as the last lighthouse built in the state. It fell into disrepair after it was deactivated in 1967 but an extensive restoration project brought it back to stability in 2006. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.
The building is 41 feet tall and is an octogon-shaped tower. The building is not open to the public but you can press your nose (and camera) up to the ground level windows to see inside. The grounds are mostly handicapped accessible.
