In honor of National Lighthouse Day, I thought I would post images of our two local lighthouses, Folly Beach and Sullivans Island. According to the American Lighthouse Foundation, "
It was on this day in 1789, that Congress approved an Act for the
establishment and support of lighthouse, beacons, buoys and public piers. In
Celebration of the 200th Anniversary of the signing of the Act and the
commissioning of the first Federal lighthouse, Congress passed a resolution
which designated August 7, 1989 as National Lighthouse Day."
