Summary

During July 2018 Museum Week, the Whiskey Point Lighthouse was advertised as open for short public-tour windows on July 12, the following Saturday, and another Saturday in the Museum Week period.

Evidence limits

The forum preserves repeated community and Historical Society tour notices. It does not establish attendance, the complete operating schedule, formal authorization, or the lighthouse’s current public-access status.

Sources

  1. A community notice invited the public to climb the tower on July 12 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. This establishes the advertised tour opportunity, not attendance or the operator’s formal authorization.

  2. A duplicate notice repeated the July 12, 11 a.m.–1 p.m. public-tour opportunity. It corroborates the schedule but adds no attendance or operating record.

  3. A follow-up announced Saturday tours from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and offered basic visitor-safety advice about footwear. This establishes another advertised tour date, not attendance.

  4. The Society announced another Saturday, 11 a.m.–1 p.m. tower-tour opportunity. This is a first-party schedule notice, not a visitor count or complete tour log.
