To the lighthouse in the garden

Among lighthouses on display: New Yorks Fort Tomkins Light (now demolished), New Jerseys Sandy Hook Light and Massachusetts Brant Point Light.

For the latest addition to the Morris Arboretums annual Garden Railway exhibit, designer Paul Busse looked oceanward to Americas historic lighthouses.

Some of the best-known of these treasures, such as Massachusetts Brant Point Light (photo), have joined the historic houses and Philadelphia landmarks on display at the Arboretums summer crowd-pleaser. And tying them all together, of course, are the trains scale models of vintage and state-of-the art equipment, winding their way over structures of sticks and leaves.
