The state
of Oregon has 9 lighthouses along it's rocky shoreline. Lighthouses represent
a part of our past as well as our present. Although the Coast Guard had decommissioned all lighthouses
and many around the country have fallen into disrepair or have been replaced
with boring, automated beacons, seven out of nine of Oregon's sentinels still
light the way to safety, due to public and historical societies efforts.
We have recently
become fascinated with these maritime treasures and in these pages you will
find photographs and information on several of these beautiful structures.
So far we have visited seven of the nine lighthouses, and we will have more
pages available soon!
