Bucket brigade

The Cape May Lighthouse was originally staffed by keepers who worked for the U.S. Lighthouse Service. Cape May’s lighthouse generally had one head keeper and two assistants. They carried oil to the top of the tower every day to power the light, and kept the lens apparatus clean and in working order.

Keepers’ pay averaged $600 a year around the turn of the 20th century.

Starts at the Physick Estate, 1048 Washington St.

$10 adults, $7 children (ages 3-12)
