The Lighthouse

There was a time when I really, really, really wanted to go inside a lighthouse. I thought they were the greatest thing ever. There was just one problem, I was living in the desert. Then I moved to a landlocked state. I occasionally saw one from the outside if I went to the right beach and up at the great lakes. I finally got to go inside of one. It was a fun day.

Here is the view from my trolley car ride to get there.



Here is the front of the lighthouse.


Here is the light. It is no longer used and is not even inside of the lighthouse tower anymore. Good thing, because there were 7 of us in there and the light would have made that impossible.


They are still working on some restorations. The lighthouse was built in 1890 so most of the rooms were restored to that time.





The lightkeeper's daughter was still alive when renovations started so her room was made as she remembered it including electricity.


Anyway, it was a pretty fun day.
