The Chatham 40-foot-tall brick twin lights were established in 1841 to replace two earlier wooden towers from 1808. Because of their appearance, the lanterns on the towers are referred to as “bird-cage style lanterns.” When Simeon Nickerson, who had been the light keeper since 1845, died in 1848, the government appointed his wife, Angeline, as the keeper, a position she held until 1862.
