About Biloxi Lighthouse

Built in 1848, the Biloxi Lighthouse was one of the first cast-iron lighthouses in the South, and it stands in the median of U.S. 90 right beside the beach. Women kept its light for more years than at any other U.S. lighthouse, including Maria Younghans, who tended it for 53 years. The city offers guided tours each morning, though climbs to the top are paused for deck repairs.
