About

The Beacon Dummy Light is a vintage traffic signal standing in the middle of the road where Main Street meets East Main Street, at the east end of Beacon's Main Street. It's one of the town's most photographed landmarks.


A Rare Survivor


Dummy lights were once common in small towns, but only a few are left in New York. Beacon's sits right next to the restored factory at 1 East Main and a few steps from the Fishkill Creek falls.


Give It Room


The light gets bumped by the occasional car, and the city repairs it each time, so give it plenty of room on left turns.


Nearby


The Beacon Historical Society is about a six-minute walk away, and the Roundhouse and the falls are right across the street.
