Yaquina Bay Lighthouse Restoration

(Newport, OR) -- The Yaquina Bay Lighthouse will get a full exterior restoration next year. The lighthouse, built in 1871, is the only wooden lighthouse still intact on the Oregon Coast, and it's the last example in the state of the combined lighthouse and living quarters. The Yaquina Bay Lighthouse served mariners for only a few short years before it was decommissioned in favor of the Yaquina Head Lighthouse in 1874. The restoration will cost around one-and-a-half-million dollars. The park will remain open during the work. The lighthouse will close from January 1st through June.
