Description
St Marks Light is one of Florida's historic lighthouses. In fact, St Mark's lighthouse is the second oldest in the state. The tower was originally built in 1831. In 1842 due to erosion it was taken down and reconstructed nearby to its original location on near the mouth of St Mark's River on Apalachee Bay. On both of those occasions construction was handled by Winslow Lewis, an early notable in American lighthouses.
The light was significantly damaged during the American civil war and was repaired and built taller than before. Automated in 1960, the St Marks Lighthouse is still an active aid to navigation on the Florida coast today.
