Happy National Lighthouse Day! 💡

On August 7, 1789, the ninth act of America's first Congress and the first public works act was passed and called for a federal role in "the establishment and support of lighthouses, beacons, buoys, and public piers."

More than two centuries later, we celebrate not only these iconic beacons that safely guided mariners, but also the dedicated volunteers who work tirelessly to preserve them for future generations.

Celebrate with us today by experiencing the St. Simons Lighthouse yourself!
