Lighthouses Historical Markers
Lighthouses mark dangerous coastlines, hazardous shoals, reefs, rocks, and safe entries to harbors. Once widely used, the number of operational lighthouses has declined due to the expense of maintenance and have become uneconomical since the advent of cheaper electronic navigational systems. Many remain standing due to historic preservation efforts. This Series is all about lighthouses. It includes lightships; artifacts from lighthouses; the Coast Guard's lighthouse service; replica, non-working lighthouses (such as those for tourism or novelty); lighthouse keepers' housing; and descriptions from lighthouse keeper's lives; and even markers with a photo or drawing of a lighthouse.
