"First Cape Henry Lighthouse built in 1792
Cape Henry Lighthouse is the first federally funded public works project of the newly formed United States government. It was authorized by George Washington and overseen by Alexander Hamilton. The Lighthouse is situated near the “First Landing” site where English settlers first set foot on their way to settle in Jamestown. Built with the same Aquia sandstone as much of Washington, D.C, the lighthouse guided sea travelers to safety for almost 100 years. "
@Vrielinkie thank you so very very much Hanna! I loved playing with the photos of the lighthouse I took the other day. About 20 years ago I went to the top of that when my BFF & her Hubby visited us.. I am not one for heights and now they limit going up to only so many hours in a day only a few days a week.. imagine.. it was built in 1792! Thanks again re the sketch action
