“Everybody loves lighthouses. They’re like apple pie, motherhood, and the American Flag. Lighthouses offer a wonderful charisma because each one has its own character.”\u00a0Wayne Wheeler, president of the U.S. Lighthouse Society.<\/em><\/p>\n

People seem to be drawn to lighthouses; there is a certain mystique and each filled with folklore, history, legend of shipwrecks, drownings, heroic rescues, romance, and ghosts.
