Fun fact: the original location of the lighthouse is now in the ocean, where the small cove at #SteamersLane is. The cove was not there when the lighthouse was built. 10 years after construction the lighthouse was moved 500 feet inland.
The lighthouse that current stands is actually the third iteration of the lighthouse. It was moved a third time, closer to the coast at the behest of a historical society. Of course, if you don't learn from history you are bound to repeat it. There is actually a sea-cave currently undercutting the lighthouse. It will need to be moved yet again at some point in the future.
