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.
