Description
The original brick lighthouse, oil house and cistern were meticulously restored over an eighth-month period in 1998 at a cost of $490,000. A spiral staircase was rebuilt inside the lighthouse permitting visitors to climb the tower for an elevated view of Doboy Sound. The lighthouse was painted with six bright stripes, and Governor Zell Miller was given the honor of flipping a switch on September 6, 1998 that activated a light in the lantern room, which had been dark for nearly a century.
