National Lighthouse Day

By Linda Tancs

On August 7, 1789, Congress passed an act for the establishment and support of lighthouses, beacons, buoys and public piers.  In honor of the 200th anniversary of the establishment of the first federal lighthouse, Congress designated 7 August as National Lighthouse Day in 1989.  Why not celebrate this national treasure with a stay at a local lighthouse?
