Lighting the Way


On this day in 1789 Congress approved an Act for the establishment and support of lighthouse, beacons, boys and public piers. In 1989 National Lighthouse Day was established and  called for lighthouse grounds where feasible to be open to the public.  The purpose of  this holiday is to  recognize the important role lighthouse have played in  the history of this country and to encourage restoration and preservation on lighthouses today.

If you know someone that collects lighthouse then today would be a great day to surprise them with a gift, it's National Lighthouse Day.  Lighthouses can be a nice home decor item, especially with a beach or cottage theme.

To learn more about National Lighthouse Day visit the American Lighthouse Foundation.
