While vacationing on the Oregon coast last week, we spent a lot of time visiting small towns along the Oregon coast. While driving to Newport, we spotted a turnoff to the Yaquina Head lighthouse. My mother was with us and is a big fan of lighthouses, so it was a must to make a visit.
The Yaquina Head Lighthouse was built in 1873 and is in a beautiful setting. It has been in use ever since, helping boats and ships navigate the rough waters. The lighthouse is 93 feet high and in imaculate... Read Full Story
Bandon, Oregon Historic Lighthouse My husband and I are native Oregonians in our sixties. I cannot count the times we have traveled up and down the Oregon coast. And each time it is different. We traveled south from Portland this fall stopping in Florence and Bandon Dunes on our way to Windsor, CA. We just cannot resist a trip down the Oregon coastline. Pictures and word can never do it justice. We left Portland Oregon going south on I-5 to Eugene where we turned west on 126 toward the beach... Read Full Story
Formerly a Mexican territory, California became part of the U.S. after the Mexican War of 1848. The famous Gold Rush began in 1849, and the first lighthouses were built a few years later. These early lights, like the Point Pinos Light shown at right, were built in a what was then a typical New England style.

Lighthouses along the Oregon Coast. There is something so beautiful about a lighthouse. I am not even sure what it is. Could it be the history behind them? Or the way they stand out solid and true on the rocky shoreline? A Beacon of Light, of hope, a true sign of safety to those that risk their lives on our seas. Legends and stories are told about a lighthouse. Some are true, some are not so true, yet very creative. Romantic they are, nothing brings a smile to my lips like the thought of... Read Full Story
