The tower was first lit in 1836 and no longer serves as a light for ships. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Decommissioned in 1964, the tower is part of the Piney Point Lighthouse Museum and Historic Park on the lower Potomac, and visitors can climb it when the museum is open.
