Boca Grande Lighthouse research

Thomas Edison had a house in Ft Myers (30 miles South West), so the island had electricity very early on. The Boca Grande lighthouse was originally created in 1881 in (). It was disassembled in 1918, and was brought to Miami in 1919. It sat in railroad cars until 1927, when it was brought back and reassembled. Recent repairs have made the lighthouse a great sight, and the view from the top gives you a perfect view of the whole island. The new light will be put up in February of 2019.
