Description
Rich with history, including an attack by Union Troops in 1862, the structure has survived a series of blows from storms, winds and high surf throughout the years. Mother Nature continued her own onslaught and Tropical Storm Isaac reclaimed the remaining shoreline forcing the lighthouse to close temporarily in 2012. In honor of its historic and iconic presence, on July 15, 2014, the City of Port St. Joe successfully moved the lighthouse, two Keepers’ Quarters and Oil House to its protective shores on St. Joseph Bay to preserve and maintain the beloved structure.
