Cape Cod Light

Highland Light, aka Cape Cod Light, in Truro.

She went up in 1797. George Washington himself placed the order. She is Cape Cod's oldest lighthouse, although she was torn down and switched from wood to brick in 1857. She was moved 450 feet inland in 1996, as she was threatened with cliff erosion.

George Washington also ordered the North Truro Air Force Station. Oh, wait, he did not. It's decommissioned anyhow.
