The Avery Point Lightouse, located at the southeastern end of the University of Connecticut's Avery Point campus, was built in 1943 to aid the Coast Guard station at Avery Point. Unfortunately, when the station closed in 1967, the maintenance and upkeep of the lighthouse was neglected. In 1997, the University of Connecticut considered razing the structure. This was prevented thanks to the efforts of the Avery Point Lighthouse Society, which culminated in the relighting of the lighthouse in 2006. The tower is not open to the public.

This Powder River was the vein of life during the boom days of the gold rush. The landscape still bears the scars. Miles of tailings line the banks of the river, a remembrance from the prosperous days of mining. The Sumpter Valley Dredge left much of the rocky footprint that visitors can see on their trek along Highway 7. The dredge is an important link to Oregon's pioneering past and development. It is one of the largest and most accessible gold dredges in the U.S., and the last of three built on the Powder River. Built in 1935, it ran until 1954.
