Quite a few guests have asked me this question. The answer is Montara, California! Those of you who have been following this blog for a while already know that the Mayo Beach lighthouse was taken down and shipped across the country. While on vacation, one of my readers took the time to track down the Wellfleet lighthouse and send me this photo. Thanks, Virginia!

It must have been an engineering feat to move the whole light house from coast to coast. Not quite the same as moving it inland like some have done.
Very interesting! I didn't know it was even possible to move a lighthouse.
What a great reader to do that for you. Are you aware we have mini lighthouses in Arizona? They're about four feet tall and mimic lighthouses from all over the country. Built in Lake Havasu City, they help guide the recreational boater's path. It's fun to see them:

That's incredible!! The lighthouse from Cape Cod shipped to California?? Couldn't CA build their own? :)
Use to stay at the house in Wellfleet as a guest of the Capron decendents in the 60's and often thought it would be great to rebuild the tower. Now I can dream that it might someday be returned!
