Chesapeake Bay Lighthouse Postcard
Old Point Comfort Lighthouse-A Virginia Historic Landmark
1802 lighthouse is the oldest structure at Fort Monroe in Hampton and still used by U.S. Coast Guard as a navigational aid. During the War of 1812, the tower was used as a lookout by British forces while they attacked the capital of the United States of America. The lightkeeper lived in the adjacent building until 1973. Also pictured next to this beautiful historic nautical tower is Marker Number W-93 erected in 1988 by the Department of Conservation and Historic Resources.
Postcard Printing Tip
As always, remember to look at the back of the card before you click to buy. You can usually make the back of the card blank, or add your own information if what you find on the back of any particular Zazzle card already is lacking in some way. I have verified that this photograph looks good by clicking on a blue button "Edit Design" to check under the hood of this collectible Virginia postcard.
Awesome card for penpals around the world.
Use this card to represent for Virginia or add to your collection of lighthouse postcards.
