The site is open to visitors.

Tibbetts Point is the gave — the '600 acres' that's the soldier's grant, the '3 acres' that's the light's share. The 'Fresnel works' is the kept — the '1854' that's the lens's date, the 'only original' that's the lake's claim. The 'lens stayed' is the ran — the 'automated '81' that's the keeper's end, the 'still turns' that's the glass's work.
The 'hostel housed' is the used — the 'keepers' rooms' that's the guests' beds, the '84 to '14' that's the run's span. The 'society formed' is the saved — the '88' that's the group's start, the 'Hamblen saw' that's the vision's spark. Tibbetts Point is the marked — the 'Ontario ends' that's the lake's edge, the 'St. Lawrence starts' that's the river's mouth.
The file keeps Tibbetts Point: the given land, the working lens, the housed hostel, and the saved tower.
Tibbetts Point is the archive's New York file — the lens that never stopped turning.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
Tibbetts Point is the archive's New York file — the lighthouse where the lake ends and the river begins.
A lens keeps its turn — the file's suggestion being that Tibbetts's hold is the original: the '1854 glass' that's the lens's age, the 'keeperless' that's the automation's cost, and the 'hostel' that's the rooms' second life.
