The museum has some nice displays and artifacts. A very small group can go up into the light itself at a time. There is a nice view from the light tower. Small giftshop. Nice gardens outside.

Beautiful place to visit. I've heard so much about it and now got to visit myself. Definitely check it out. Also go to Timmerman Photography on Facebook. His pictures are what made me want to come visit.

This was a nice place to get out and visit. Very pretty when the sun is setting during the winter months. It's pretty here.

A must see. Coolest small town history lesson while there. The view of the bay was beautiful. Maintained to pristine. Gardens I had to take the time to sit and enjoy.
