The earliest lighthouses were simply bonfires built on hillsides to guide ships. The first light served the old world city of Alexandria in 285 B.C. The first American light came to life in 1716 at Boston Harbor.  This links on this page lead to websites exploring the history, legends, lore and workings of lighthouses.
