165-feet above the ground, our original 1874 first-order Fresnel lens shines over St. Augustine day and night. This gorgeous, handmade marvel of scientific engineering and artistry is nine feet tall, weighs two tons, and is composed of more than 370 handmade glass prisms. Because of its historical value and delicate nature, the general public can only view the lighthouse lens from a window below the lens room, just inside the gallery deck at the top of the lighthouse. For a closer look at the lens and to see the best view in all of Northeast Florida, you can make reservations for a private lens room tour. It's the only way to get inside the lens room and truly experience the light that has shone brightly over St. Augustine for 147 years! Call Kelcie at 904-829-0745 ext. 210 to reserve this exclusive lighthouse experience. • • • • #MuseumMonday #LoveYourLighthouse #StAugustineLighthouse #StaLighthouse #Fresnel #Lens #Tour #NationsOldestPort #StAugustine #KeepTheLightShining #Comm...
