Pooles Island Lighthouse, MD |

|
Built in 1825, this 40-foot granite tower is the oldest standing lighthouse in Maryland.
In 1917 the US Army condemned the island and made it part of the Aberdeen Proving Grounds.
In 1997 the Directorate of Safety, Health and Environment at Aberdeen Proving Ground with
help from the Coast Guard, the National Park Service and volunteers performed
a full restoration of the tower.
