Seguin Island Light is very old lighthouse, dating back to 1795. It was commissioned by President George Washington.

It is said that in the early 1800s, a lighthouse keeper’s wife brought a piano out to the island in an effort to break the monotony and loneliness of the uninhabited island. Unfortunately, she only learned to play one tune, which she played constantly, driving her husband to the edge of madness. Finally, the husband killed the woman in a fit of rage during an argument over the piano, before taking his own life. However, in the long term, the wife prevailed, continuing to play the piano even 200 years after her death. The plaintive notes of that one tune are still reported by both visitors to the island, and by fisherman and recreational boaters passing offshore.

There are also reports of the ghost of a little girl. Coughs are heard in rooms with no one in them, a bouncing ball is heard as well as things being moved around. The keeper’s house is now a museum that is open to the public.
