Yesterday, we celebrated Wilma Daniels' 90th birthday! Her father, Cardell Daniels, became the lighthouse keeper in 1935 and witnessed the tower's transition from oil lanterns to electricity. Wilma grew up on the grounds of the St. Augustine lighthouse. Over the years, she has returned to the Museum on her birthday to climb up the tower. Wilma thanked everyone for making her feel like "the queen of the lighthouse." Our Executive Director, Kathy Fleming, said, "she's such a treasure." Stay tuned for the infamous story of Wilma's brother, "Cracker" Daniels, and Smokey, her beloved cat. #WonderfulWednesday #LoveYourLighthouse #StAugustineLighthouse #StaLighthouse #NationsOldestPort #StAugustine #KeepTheLightShining #Community #Connected #Mission #Centered #Visit #Join #Donate
