Description: The Lighthouse was built-in 1848. The light was civilian operated from 1848 to 1939 and is notable for its several female lightkeepers, including Maria Younghans, who tended the light for 53 years. In 1939, the U.S. Coast Guard assumed responsibility for the light’s operation. It was deeded to the city and then opened to the public. It survived Katrina.
