Description
"In 1969, the northern part of Sapelo Island was sold to the State of Georgia and became the R.J. Reynolds Wildlife Refuge. The 206-acre southern portion of the island, which includes the lighthouse, was purchased jointly by the State of Georgia and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in 1991 at a cost of $500,000, with the state chipping in $150,000, the U.S. Department of Commerce $100,000, and a private donor $250,000. This acreage was set aside as the Sapelo Island National Estuarine Research Reserve." (lighthousefriends.com)
