Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse & FL Hist. Center Museum - Civil War Discovery Trail Sites on Waymarking.com

The lighthouse was designed by then Lieutenant George G. Meade, later Federal commander at Gettysburg. Construction was completed in 1860. Early in the Civil War, Confederate sympathizers removed the illuminating apparatus and buried it in Jupiter Creek. At the end of the war, the newly appointed lighthouse keeper recovered the lighting mechanism and it was relit in 1866.
