Additional Resources: Please visit the National Park Service Maritime Heritage Program's website for a searchable inventory of Historic Lighthouses and Light Stations: https://www.nps.gov/maritime/inventories/lights.htm
Lighthouse materials available here are an expanded version of the National Park Service's Inventory of Historic Light Stations. This site incorporates the National Park Service's Inventory as well as light station files that are maintained by the Coast Guard Historian's Office. A special thanks is owed to Ms. Candace Clifford of the National Maritime Initiative and author of the Inventory of Historic Light Stations for her permission to utilize the Inventory.
The majority of the photos were taken from the files of the U.S. Coast Guard Historians' Office. They were compiled and scanned by Mr. Joseph Kiebish, and we wish to acknowledge his generous assistance and thank him for his service as a volunteer.
Additional information as well as the history for each lighthouse is provided courtesy of volunteers from the Chesapeake Chapter of the U.S. Lighthouse Society, including Anne Puppa, William Simms, Melissa Buckler, Marie Vincent, Catherine Price, Diane Hackney and Matthew B. Jenkins. We gratefully acknowledge their efforts as well
