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.
