Spindle Point features the only lighthouse on Lake Winnipesaukee. It is rumored that the costume designer for the “Wizard of Oz” designed the witch's hat after seeing this conical stone lighthouse during a visit to Meredith.

The light house was built in 1892 by Colonel Charles Cummings for his daughter as an art studio. The lighthouse is a stone and wood structure which stand 40 feet above the lake.
