Marcus Hook Rear Range Lighthouse, Wilmington, DE 4/11/2026. She ain’t pretty, but she was nearby. I took my youngest to visit University of Delaware, and this lighthouse was a short drive from where we were staying. The original light source was a fourth-order range lens that that shone at a height of 278 feet above the Delaware River. It was removed in the 80s. As you can see, the lantern room is now boarded up. The keeper’s house is now a private residence, and presumably the lighthouse tower is now privately owned as well.
