Lighthouses of the San Francisco Bay | Marin

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Following the discovery of gold in 1848, the Bay Area experienced one of the most explosive population expansions in modern history.

During the latter half of that century, the men and women of the lighthouse service, aided by their light and fog signals, directed hundreds of ships to safe passage through the Golden Gate and often provided lifesaving services. These services played a critical role in the growth of a new state.

Join docent Warren Riley on Sunday, January 3, 2010 for an illustrated talk inside the Marin Headlands Visitor Center.
