About the event

Join us for an engaging look into the life of the only lady lighthouse keeper to serve at Horton Point in Southold. Stella Maria Prince Terry lived at the lighthouse from 1870 through 1904, more than half of her life, and yet she was the official keeper for a mere 16 months. What was it like to live at 'the edge of the world'?

Mary Korpi, a docent at Horton Point, has done extensive research into the history of the Prince family and Stella in particular. She will speak to some of the fascinating details of this courageous woman who casts off society's restrictions and dedicates herself to the work of a lighthouse keeper.
