Highland Light (Cape Cod Light)

Highland Light is the oldest and tallest lighthouse on Cape Cod, first established in 1797 on the high clay cliffs of Truro. The current 66-foot tower dates to 1857 and was moved 450 feet inland in 1996 due to cliff erosion. The light sits atop 120-foot bluffs, giving it a focal plane of 183 feet above sea level.
