Haceta Head Lighthouse, Oregon

Located twelve miles north of Florence on Oregon's picturesque central coast, the Haceta Head Lighthouse was completed in 1894 after two years of construction.  Made from local and imported materials, this lighthouse was built to withstand the harsh storms of this remarkable region.
