Lighthouse Museum

Built in 1807 and standing 85ft tall, the first lighthouse here was destroyed by Confederates when Union troops landed in 1862. The second lighthouse, which you'll be able to tour, was built in 1872. The 104ft tower has a spiral 129-step cast-iron staircase and an adjacent keeper's residence. Otherwise it's, y'know, a lighthouse.
