Built in 1876, Fort Jefferson Lighthouse (also known as Garden Key Ligjt) helped warn sea traffic away from the dangerous shoals and reefs that surrounded the Florida Keys until it was deactivated in 1912 but currently acts as a harbor light, guiding vessels safely into the anchorage outside Fort Jefferson. Today the hexagonal lighthouse is part of Dry Tortygas National Park.

Mackinac Island is an island resort area and part of the U.S. state of Michigan. The entire island is listed as a National Historic Landmark.. It is well known for its numerous cultural events; its wide variety of architectural styles, including the famous Victorian Grand Hotel; its fudge; and its ban on almost all motor vehicles. More than 80 percent of the island is preserved as Mackinac Island State Park.

USA ~Michigan~

Got a lovely lighthouse... it seems to be the only working lighthouse that is also a bed and breakfast and haunted too.... It must be a real experience to stay there!


The Big Bay Point Light is a lighthouse which stands on a tall bluff over a rocky point near Big Bay, Michigan. Today it is the only operational lighthouse with a bed and breakfast. It is reputed to be haunted and the novel and movie Anatomy of a Murder were inspired by a murder rooted at the lighthouse.
