Mobile Point lighthouse was at Fort
Morgan, a Civil War Fort at the mouth of Mobile Bay.
As far as we know, the
lighthouse is not at the Fort, taken down
because
of the bad condition,
but stored somewhere awaiting a proper
restoration.

restored some years back. |

This is how it looked when we
first saw it. The story is that it was cut
down and sold for junk. The man who bought
it didn't have the heart to cut it up and
destroy it, but it stayed in a junkyard for
years. I believe the story goes that after
he died, his sons donated it back to the
Fort and the Park Service. If anyone knows
different, please let me know. |
