This is the Old Cape Henry Lighthouse constructed in 1792.
The new Cape Henry Lighthouse was constructed in 1881.
They are located in Fort Story Military base at the landing site of Captain Newport 1607, he was the first to land in the area after crossing the Atlantic Ocean.
We got a brief history lesson as we ventured out to find this.
I saw it on the map and we just drove towards it.
The weather was bad so we didn't get to explore the dunes and Memorial area of Cape Henry,
hopefully we will be able to go back again.
