Marblehead Lighthouse

Saturday the 16th

Cold and rainy this morning. Tina is going shopping, I’m doing laundry. By 1:30 PM it cleared up and the sun came out. Still chilly, but nice enough to go for a drive. We decide to stay close and head out to the Marblehead Lighthouse. Built in 1821, it took just eleven weeks to complete construction. Then in 1903 and additional fifteen feet were added. Built by William Kelly and his crew, they used native limestone and built the original structure for a cost of $6,520. The lighthouse wasn’t open today so we continued our drive around the end of the peninsula and back to camp.
