The #lighthouse on Cape #Canaveral is over 150 years old.
When the US took over much of #Merritt Island for the purpose of testing missiles and space launches, they also took over the lighthouse.
The light is still active and operated by the Coast Guard.
Scheduled tours are available, though the lighthouse is part of #CapeCanaveral facilities
