Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Cape Henry Lighthouse stands above Cape Henry on Virginia's east coast. The lighthouse was built in 1792, and for hundreds of years, it has guided the direction of ships and freighters entering and leaving the port. In 1881, considering the safety of the building, the old lighthouse was demolished and rebuilt, and a new lighthouse rose from the ruins of the old building, which is the lighthouse we can see today. Climbing to the lighthouse, you will have a panoramic view of the invincible Atlantic Ocean. There is also a commemorative cross that landed in the Americas in 1607. You can consider visiting.

There are two new and old lighthouses. The lighthouses can be boarded in 1792. It seems that there is a small fee. The new lighthouse can only be seen outside.
