"Sally Snowman Retires: The Final Chapter for America's Last Coast Guard Lighthouse Keeper"

Sally Snowman, the first female keeper of Boston Light and America's last lighthouse keeper, is set to retire on December 30, ending a 307-year era of manned lighthouses in the country. Snowman, who fulfilled her childhood dreams by getting married and becoming the keeper at Boston Light, has spent two decades watching over America's first lighthouse, which dates back to 1716. After her departure, Boston Light will be transferred to a new owner but will continue to be maintained for its historical significance, while the Coast Guard will maintain the light and fog signal.
