Description

Bodie Island Lighthouse and the Milk Way, both super stars.

The Bodie Island Lighthouse was built in 1871, and was first operational in 1872. The current structure is actually the third lighthouse to guard this region of the Outer Banks coastline. The first Bodie Island lighthouse was built in 1847 and had to be abandoned due to a failing foundation, while the second lighthouse, which was built in 1859, was destroyed by retreating Confederate troops to keep it out of Union hands in 1861.

The Bodie Island Lighthouse is distinctive for its black and white horizontal stripes. The current structure, which was completed in 1872, is one of only a handful of brick tower lighthouses that remain in operation in the United States. Bodie Island Lighthouse is also just one of a few lighthouses that use an original first-order Fresnel lens.
