Repairs to the 1871 Yaquina Bay #Lighthouse in #Oregon are taking longer than expected, with the lighthouse now likely to be reopened this fall -- not this month, as originally hoped.
Newport’s historic Yaquina Bay Lighthouse expected to reopen this fall after renovation
The structure was only officially used for three years after being built in 1871, but it’s long been a part of Newport’s lore. And its renovation means a lot to the community.

At Yaquina Head, one of the most popular spots on the Oregon coast, federal firings culled a third of the park's staff. Park hours have already been reduced, and lighthouse tours have been canceled. "Everyone is quite concerned."
