Fort Sumter National Monument invites the public to celebrate National Lighthouse Day at the Sullivan's Island Lighthouse on Tuesday, August 7 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The grounds, quarters cupola and boathouse will be open to the public from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, August 7th.
Because of serious health and safety concerns the lighthouse interior will not be open. In addition to viewing exhibits in the historic life-saving station boathouse, visitors can pick up a free commemorative poster designed by Amelia Millar for the 50th anniversary of the lighthouse. Displays on water safety and activities for children are planned in conjunction with the US Coast Guard Auxiliary and Sullivan’s Island Fire & Rescue. Representatives from the non-profit Save the Light organization will report on efforts to preserve the Morris Island Lighthouse. Refreshments will be served.
