One of the tallest lighthouses in the USA at Daytona beach, Fl.
The tallest lighthouse in Florida is 175 feet tall and was completed on November 1, 1887. The Lighthouse complex has all been restored and is one of the best in America. They have a wonderful collection of Fresnel Lens including the original First Order for Ponce Inlet.
An interesting historical landmark. The museum provided a lot of information about construction of the lighthouse and the people who lived here.
