In 1841 a cannon was found buried on the lighthouse grounds. It was placed in front of the Keepers dwelling where it remains to this day. It is thought the cannon is of Dutch or Danish origin, but no one is sure where the cannon came from or why it was buried at the lighthouse grounds. This has led to speculation over the years that it may be from a pirate ship, or part of Revolutionary War defenses but no one truly knows the answer.
