Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse
The lighthouse began it’s history 1890 when a bill was introduced in Congress to build a lighthouse at Hillsboro Inlet. In 1906 the land was cleared and the lighthouse construction began. In 1907 the Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse was first illuminated with an incandescent Oil Vapor Lamp (like a “Coleman Mantle Lamp”) in a revolving Second Order Fresnel Lens.
