Heceta Head Relit

By Sue Clark on Jun 1, 2009 in Updates Print This Post Print This Post

Just a quick update to let everyone know the Heceta Head lighthouse lens has been put back into service. Florida based Lighthouse Lamp, Inc. was in charge of the $22,000 restoration. The money was funded entirely through visitor’s donations to the historic lighthouse in Oregon. There is a story at Siuslaw News if you’d like to read more. The light has been off since early February, when it was determined that the carriage wheel assembly was worn out, and further use might damage it beyond repair.
