  • Summary

  • Key West Lighthouse, courtesy of KWAHS Key West Lighthouse has stood as a well-loved landmark in one of America’s most colorful cities since 1848, when it replaced an earlier lighthouse that began service in early 1826. The original tower was destroyed by a hurricane in 1846. The tower that stands today is constructed of brick and stands 73 feet tall. Dr. Cori Convertito, courtesy of KWAHS After the navigational light was discontinued in 1969, the property was turned over to Monroe County. It was then leased to the Key West Arts and Historical Society. The Society opens the lighthouse to the public and also manages a museum in the former keeper’s house. A centerpiece of the museum is a first-order Fresnel lens from the Sombrero Key Lighthouse. Dr. Cori Convertito is the curator and historian for the Key West Arts and Historical Society, which manages three sites in addition to the lighthouse. Ralph Krugler co-hosts. Courtesy of KWAHS
