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.

Nice place to stop and take a break if you are driving the coast or are just interested in Maritime items. Very nice museum. Enough information to be interesting. Takes maybe 1/2 hour (depending on your pace), to go through. Worth the stop.
This was an interesting stop. I love lighthouses and this was full of information about how they work, the people who worked I them for the past hundred years, and it was a great opportunity to learn about fresnel lenses. Small gift shop as worth...More
