An Islamorada community group that is spending $6 million to restore and preserve the Alligator Reef Lighthouse turned on its new solar-powered lights on Saturday to remind the public about the effort. “Alligator Lighthouse was lit in 1873 and it stayed lit until about 2013, and then it went dark for 10 years,” said Rob Dixon, the executive director of Save Alligator Lighthouse, which took over the lighthouse's title in late 2021. But modern-day satellite navigation made open-water lighthouses obsolete and such structures are being disposed of by the General Services Association.

☆ I bought an abandoned lighthouse for $71,000 and spent over $300,000 making it a home—take a look inside

The Fairport Harbor West Lighthouse is located in Ohio and overlooks Lake Erie. The Fairport Harbor West Lighthouse in Ohio became available at auction and Consaul started bidding in 2009. Since buying the lighthouse, Consaul estimates she has spent over $300,000 renovating it. Other than the extensive work the lighthouse needed, Consaul says her biggest challenge so far is that the lighthouse is completely off the grid. The Fairport Harbor West Lighthouse is located a half mile from the nearest parking lot in Headlands Beach State Park.

The U.S. is giving away and auctioning off lighthouses across the East Coast and Midwest. The GSA will also sell four lighthouses in Ohio, Connecticut, Michigan and New York in a public auction. But there's a catch: While the lighthouse is free, the new owners will be responsible for the cost of upkeep and maintenance. Warwick Neck Light is located on Narragansett Bay in Rhode Island and is one of the lighthouses being given away for free. Kelly told TIME that there are nonprofits that already maintain some of the lighthouses being offered up this year.

Happisburgh, located in England's Norfolk county, has been crumbling into the sea. Coastal erosion has plagued the village for decades, and could be worsened by increasing storms. Million-year-old human footprints were once discovered in the historic village, but they washed away. Happisburgh, located in Norfolk County, has seen dozens of homes wash away to sea as the cliff face edges closer and closer to its remaining residents. Photos show how the sea could soon swallow more of the historic town if the coastal erosion continues.
