Cape Bear Lighthouse, operational since 1881, is undertaking efforts to rejuvenate their interpretation space and enhance accessibility to its premises. This involves relocating Marconi Hall, constructing a deck, installing an accessible ramp, and creating walking paths to facilitate movement around the site. The aim is to make the historical space more inclusive and engaging for visitors while preserving its rich heritage dating back to the late 19th century.
