Mount Cleveland is a mountain in the in the of . Located in the of the , its summit is in the town of in . The mountain is named after , former president of the United States. Mount Cleveland is one of five peaks in Vermont's .

Cleveland Ledge Lighthouse sits in Buzzards Bay about two miles out from the nearest shore; so minus a boat, drone, or high-powered telephoto lens, it’s pretty tough to get a clear image. I’ve tried several times, and these are as good as I’ve gotten:

Photo 2: Taken 3/19/23 from North Falmouth, on the Cape side of the Bay

Construction of the lighthouse was completed in 1943, which I believe makes it the “newest” lighthouse in Massachusetts — at least I can’t think of any more recent. Despite its relative newness, this lighthouse certainly captures my imagination: for me, the more remote and inaccessible a lighthouse is, the more mysterious it is, and therefore the more appealing. Plus, I’m a sucker for anything Art Moderne.

Trivia Bonus: I’ve often wondered why the shoals the lighthouse is built on were named Cleveland Ledge — this being Massachusetts and not Ohio. Turns out it’s named after the president, not the city. Originally known as Pocasset Ledge, it was a favorite fishing spot for President Grover Cleveland, who spent summers in Bourne while in office (and presumably while out of office: he served two non-consecutive terms). Over time it took on his name.

Book Review #5 for 2025 is Troy Senik's A Man of Iron: The Turbulent Life and Improbable Presidency of Grover Cleveland. A fair and readable treatment of the first US President who was the first elected to two non-consecutive terms. What strikes me, juxtaposed against the turbulence of current policy, was the move to professionalize the Civil Service

Presidents Who Went By Middle Names

Four Presidents — Hiram ULYSSES Grant, Stephen GROVER Cleveland, Thomas WOODROW Wilson, and John CALVIN Coolidge — effectively used their middle names as first names. In this article, I examine each of these interesting presidential name cases.
