Bodie Island Lighthouse

Hello from Surf City!
Base of Bodie Island Lighthouse to Open for Viewing

Having recently completed an emergency stabilization
project at the Bodie
Island Lighthouse, the National Park Service will be
opening the base of
the structure for public viewing on Tuesdays,
Wednesdays and Thursdays,
from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. beginning Tuesday, July 31.
This schedule will be
in effect through Labor Day. The tower itself will
not be open for
climbing.

Cape Hatteras National Seashore volunteers will be at
the lighthouse on
these days to greet visitors wishing to view the old
oil house and peer up
the spiraling cast iron stair case of the 1873 tower.
Volunteers will be
telling stories of the light station’s past as well
as of plans of future
restoration projects, including a major repair of the
structure anticipated
to begin in 2008.




Till next time....
Tight lines!
