Florida, Cape Canaveral, (Cape Canaveral Air Force Station) Cape Canaveral Lighthouse (2,100)

            The Cape Canaveral lighthouse was built in 1868, and is the second light on the Cape.  The light replaced one built in 1848.  The light was dismantled and moved to its present site in1893-1894 because of shoreline erosion. The light was automated in 1954. During the early days of rocket launches on the Cape the tower was used as an observation point.  The tower was renovated in 1997.  In 2000, the lighthouse was transferred from the U.S. Coast Guard to the US Air Force. and is within the boundary of the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.  The Cape Canaveral Lighthouse Foundation was established in 2005 to help the U.S. Air Force maintain the lighthouse and to allow public access to it. 

The keepers house was demolished in 1967.  The only building remaining is the oil house at the base of the tower.
