Restoring North Carolina’s Historic Light Station | Wilmington News

A new crew of passionate friends has taken over the historic Frying Pan Shoals Light Station off North Carolina’s coast, aiming to restore it to its former glory and transform it into a living museum of maritime history. Originally built in 1964 to guide ships through dangerous waters, the tower was decommissioned in 1992 but now stands poised for a comeback—with help from community support, modern tech upgrades like public WiFi and underwater cameras, and plans to reopen visitor access by boat or helicopter. They’re honoring its legacy while making it accessible for future generations. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
