Cape Blanco Light Station (1870) holds five Oregon records, including most westerly and oldest continually operating lighthouse on the Oregon coast. PLEASE NOTE: At present, the Cape Blanco Lighthouse and the short road from the lighthouse gate are not open as they are both in need of repairs. Visitors will need to walk the short distance from the gate to the Greeting Center Gift Shop and can easily hike from there to view the exterior of the lighthouse. Dave Baxter recently featured Cape Blanco, its historical sites and hiking trails on his website AwayGoWe Travel. The article can be found here. Hughes House (1898) is an elegant restored Victorian farmhouse designed by Pehr Johan Lindberg for prosperous dairyman Patrick Hughes.
