Boy Scout Troop 24 member Will Cullimore recently earned the rank of Eagle Scout after repainting the Derby Wharf Light Station as his community service project.
The light station, constructed at the south end of Derby Wharf in 1871, is a two-story and 12-foot square brick structure topped with an iron deck and cupola. It underwent large-scale renovations in 1989 that included repointing the masonry, replacing the window, repairing doors, installing a floor drain and repainting the building.
