The
main
purpose
of
a
lighthouse
has
always
been
functionality:
markers
of
land
ahead,
they
provided
safe
sailing
into
shore.
Today,
many
of
the
country’s
lighthouses
have
made
their
way
onto
the
National
Historic
Registry,
others
stand
tall
as
lasting
reminders
of
colonial
times,
while
some
are
examples
of
architectural
mastery.
You
don't
have
to
be
at
sea
to
enjoy
their
beauty—so
why
not
make
a
trip
just
to
stare,
or
climb
up
for
the
views
of
the
water?
These
are
the
10
lighthouses
we’d
plan
a
trip
around.-from,
