Huntington's Disease Lighthouse

Huntington's Harbor Lighthouse.
This is the Huntington Harbor Lighthouse which is located north of Long Island where Dr. George Huntington observed and wrote about Huntington's Disease patients. It was chosen as a symbol of this Web site which will continue to offer a beacon of hope to families coping with Huntington's Disease until all of our ships are home safe in harbor.
