Cape Poge Light, sometimes called Cape Pogue Light, is at the northeast tip of Chappaquiddick, an island part of Martha's Vineyard, off Cape Cod, Massachusetts coast. At least four towers have been built on Cape Poge, with many moves. In 1801, the first 35-foot wooden Cape Poge Lighthouse was built for $2,000. During the War of 1812, the light was extinguished for a few months, and its apparatus was hidden in the cellar of a Chappaquiddick house. This first lighthouse was moved in 1825 and again in 1838 due to an eroding bluff.

In 1844, a new tower was built for $1,600 and, in 1857, supplied with a fourth-order Fresnel lens. However, in 1878, it was reported that the keeper's house would probably "fall into the sea within two years." Therefore, a third lighthouse was built in 1880.

Finally, in 1893 the current 35-foot, white conical wood tower was constructed 40 feet inland from the previous one. Photo by Carol Highsmith.
