Fall Asleep with Frank — A Slow Light Over the Sound: The History of Horton Point

On a bluff sixty feet above the Long Island Sound, a white square tower with a copper dome has been watching over the water since 1857. Tonight, Frank tells the slow, quiet history of Horton Point Lighthouse — one of the oldest lighthouses on the eastern seaboard, and one of the most gently compelling.

The story begins earlier than the tower itself. George Washington commissioned a lighthouse on this bluff in 1790, his very first year as president. For reasons history never fully recorded, nothing was built. The bluff sat in the dark for nearly seventy years, until the government purchased the land in 1855 for five hundred and fifty dollars, and the light was finally lit in 1857.

Frank walks you through the lighthouse's granite foundations, its unusual square tower, the keeper's house joined directly to the lantern room so that a keeper could tend the light on a winter night without stepping into the wind. He traces the life of the first keeper, William Sinclair, and follows the single quiet thread that runs from that first lit night all the way to the present — where the light still sends its slow green flash across the Sound every ten seconds, steady and unhurried and exactly on time.

This is a sleep podcast for anyone who finds peace in old places, patient history, and the sound of water somewhere not far away. Settle in, slow your breathing, and let the story carry you gently toward sleep. A calming episode to help you relax and fall asleep.
