Linoma Lighthouse – Landlocked on Route 6 near Gretna, Nebraska.

 

Lighthouse In Landlocked Nebraska
“The base of the lighthouse was a gas station, built in 1938. The 110-foot-tall tower was added the following year. There are ten floors inside, and the builders may have wanted the lighthouse to become a novelty motel, but that never happened. The lighthouse worked as a real lighthouse for years, with a spiral staircase to the top and a bright neon beacon, but it gradually fell into disrepair and was abandoned. Nearing collapse, the lighthouse (and its surrounding RV park) were bought in 2010, and its restoration began in the summer of 2013.” ~~ Roadsideamerica.com Team, 09/17/2013

A lighthouse in Nebraska? I didn’t realize that they experienced the daily rise and fall of the tides.

Now, that is awesome. You guys drove half way across the US to see a lighthouse in Nebraska. What next?

That does look really strange. Probably a good place to spot fires from though!
