St. Marks Lighthouse Fresnel lens on display at Visitor Center

The St. Marks NWR Lighthouse lens is currently on display in the Refuge Visitor Center. The Fresnel lens was in the lighthouse from 1867 to 2014.

The lens was removed from the lighthouse in November 2014 and was preserved by the experts at the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse Museum free of charge.

You have a rare opportunity to view the lens up close before it is returned to the lighthouse.
