Bolivar Lighthouse - 1986 on Boliver Penninsula, Texas-horizontal.tif
Point Bolivar Light is a historic lighthouse in Port Bolivar, Texas, that was built in 1872. It served for 61 years before being retired in 1933, when its function was replaced by a different light.
The current lighthouse is at least the second structure at the site. The first lighthouse was built in the mid-1850s and was pulled down during the Civil War so that Union warships could not use it as a navigational aid.
