𝗠𝗘𝗠𝗕𝗘𝗥𝗦𝗛𝗜𝗣 𝗦𝗣𝗢𝗧𝗟𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 Magnificent lighthouses have stood the test of time guiding ships to safe harbor throughout the world. Although many have been removed from service, they continue to evoke emotional responses for their beauty and for what they have come to represent – like the Cape San Blas Lighthouse , located at 200 Miss Zola's Dr. in Port St. Joe.
The City of Port St. Joe received Constructive Possession of the Cape San Blas Lighthouse District on February 22, 2013.
On July 15, 2014, the Cape San Blas Lighthouse, two Keepers Quarters', and Oil Shed were relocated to Core Park in Port St. Joe to preserve each structure in perpetuity.
The Cape San Blas Lighthouse at Port St. Joe was opened on September 12, 2014, to visitors.
On May 7, 2015, the Cape San Blas Lighthouse District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The St. Joseph Historical Society Inc., gratefully acknowledges the many individuals and organizations that have made the preservation and restoration of the Cape San Blas Lighthouse and Keepers Quarters a reality.
