| First occupied by John Dubose, a former Navy Captain appointed to the lighthouse keeper's post by President John Quincey Adams. Dubose moved his large family into the brick cottage in December, 1825, and was the first of a succession of lighthouse keepers through 1878. Several times rebuilt and relocated, the cottage is a replica built after the State Park opened in 1967. Renovated as a museum with period furnishings, its cook house is redesigned as a mini theater where videos of lighthouse history are shown. |
