My wife is a lighthouse "nut". She was hesitant at first to visit. Once we did visit, she was quite impressed with all the info we observed in the museum. Quite a bit of info about the lenses among other things.
Full range of exhibits related to lighthouses, Coast Guard, lifesaving service etc. Light house area has many lenses with working lights to explain how the optics work to focus and magnify the light.

This was a short stop on our tour. We only had 45 minutes here, but given the amazing and vast collection, another 30 minutes would have been welcomed! It is chocked full of so much info, displays, memorabilia and personal stories that you really could...More
