"LIGHTHOUSE PATHWAY"

The Cape Florida Lighthouse is one of the most celebrated landmarks owned by the State of Florida, and is located near Miami on the southernmost tip of Key Biscayne.

The lighthouse has a violent past when hurricanes, fire, and the Seminole Wars swept through the region.

The original lighthouse and cottage, built in 1825, were attacked and burned in 1836 by Seminole warriors protesting U.S. presence in the South Florida wilderness.

This historic lighthouse in the Bill Baggs State Park was rebuilt in 1855-1856 extending the height to 95 feet.
