"Yaquina Bay Light was lit in 1871 and darkened three years later.  Rather than being demolished, it was put to use as a crew station for the U. S. Lifesaving Service.  In the 1940's, it was taken over by the Lincoln County Historical Society and is now open to visitors.  It is Oregon's oldest wooden-framed lighthouse and was equipped with a fifth order Fresnel lens, which burned whale oil.  It is filled with 19th century furnishings and memorabilia."
