Ponce De Leon Inlet Light Station Museum

The tour of this light house was really good. Everything here was well restored and very neat and clean. Ernest climbed the 203 steps to the top of the light house, he said it was very windy at the lookouts. The day was a bit cloudy and very smokey from a fire in the state of Georgia so the view was not much to see.

Completed in 1887, the Ponce de Leon Inlet Light Station was built when the area was known as Mosquito Inlet. After decades of restoration by the Ponce de Leon Inlet Lighthouse Preservation Association, it stands today as one of the best preserved, most complete Light Stations in the nation.

The houses in the photos are the "Principal Keeper's House", the First Assistant Keeper's House" and the Second Assistant Keeper's House.
