Can you feel the sea wind?

The lighthouse can, too!



For a lighthouse, standing out in the sea spray and storm winds is part of the job description.
For more than a century of working life, Heceta Head Lighthouse has taken a constant barrage from the elements.


Please come inside the oil house to learn more about how Oregon State Parks is working to preserve and restore this important resource.
If the oil house is closed today, visit our website
(www.oregonstateparks.org).




In an age when navigation beacons can be made smaller, cheaper, and easier to maintain, why save the old lighotations?
Imagine this headland without the picturesque buildings and its story.
Historic lightstations are legacies of our past and gifts to the future.
