Lake Minatare Lighthouse

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Lake Minatare Lighthouse is a historic mock lighthouse located on Lake Minatare near the city of Scottsbluff in Nebraska. The 55-foot (17 m) tower was built by the Veterans Conservation Corps in 1939 and is currently located within the North Platte National Wildlife Refuge. Designed as a combination shelter house and observation tower, it was "built to simulate a lighthouse."[1] According to Scotts Bluff County Tourism, it is one of only seven inland lighthouses in the United States.[2]
