Last year, the completed dune restoration project at Cape Henry Lighthouse saw the foundation of the tower protected and a new visitor platform installed.
This year, the work continued with interior painting of the tower. After receiving the results of paint analysis by experts at Colonial Williamsburg, the new coat of paint on the interior stairs is based on a similar color used by the Coast Guard in the 1860s.
Our preservation specialist and project manager Eric Litchford shows you the finished paint job in his new video! Like a lighthouse keeper from generations ago, Eric continues to check on our historic sites while practicing social distancing.
