This little lighthouse
is in Edenton NC or was, last we heard. It was more or less
unknown until a few years ago. We went there and visited the
man, Mr. Willey, who owned it, lived in it, and in fact, brought it
from it's original site in Pamlico Sound, I believe. He
brought it on a barge, then filled in dirt around it. When we
saw it, it needed a lot of TLC. Note the little outhouse still
hanging over the side. It was being used for storage, onshore,
but out in the Sound, it once had other uses. Mr. Willey has
since died, and we don't know quite what has or will become of the
lighthouse.

to a park where it will be restored and preserved. |

Thanks to Bob & Sue Bechtel who sent us
