Fenwick Island Lighthouse
Erected in 1859, the Fenwick Island Lighthouse has stood on the coast of Delaware for over 150 years. Originally, the lighthouse was decommissioned in 1978, but thanks to support from local citizens, the light was turned back on three years later and remains operational to this day.
