Trinidad Head Light and Keeper's House


In 1866, the United States Light House Service established an observation station on Trinidad Head, and in 1871, the light itself was placed in operation (the date given in the photo is incorrect). This image dates from the late 1940s.

 


The station was about fifty years old when these pictures were taken in the mid-1920s. The light itself is difficult to see in this view, but the bell house is the tall structure below and to the right of the keeper's house. (Photo courtesy Trinidad Museum Society.)
