About the lighthouse:
Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse has a very interesting past. Originally built in 1907 in Chicago, it was shipped down the Mississippi to the 1940 Exposition in St. Louis. After the Exposition ended, the lighthouse was purchased by the federal government and moved again to Hillsboro, Florida, where it sits today, as the last beach lighthouse erected in Florida. The 137-foot tower houses a second-order lens that emits a 5.5 million-candlepower light, a beacon that shines brightly to sea. Overall lamp height is 25".

The Boston Harbor Light is the oldest lighthouse in continuous service in the United States, and it is still manned today by the U.S. Coast Guard. Built in 1783 on an island in Boston Harbor, it sits on the site of the nation's first lighthouse, which was destroyed by the British in the Revolutionary War. In 1852, the present lighthouse tower was increased from 75 feet to 89 feet to make passage into Boston safer. Overall lamp height is 25".
