We visited this lighthouse on Nov 12 2003 during a rainstorm. This light is sometimes referred to as the St. David's Lighthouse.
I was here again on December 4 2019. It was closed but I got a few pictures.
The interior of Hooper Strait Lighthouse is open to museum visitors. The fog bell tower from Point Lookout Lighthouse stands on the grass near the lighthouse.
The lighthouse is owned by the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum.
