'Old Baldy' Reopens To Public
"Old Baldy," the oldest lighthouse
in North Carolina, marked its 176th
birthday in April with the reopening
of its 108 newly renovated steps to
the top.
The 110-foot historic landmark is
located on Bald Head Island, acces
sible by a 20-minute passenger ferry
from Southport. Old Baldy, with its
distinctive octagonal shape and off
centered lanthom, is a short walk
from the ferry landing.
The lighthouse is open daily from
sunrise to sunset. From the top, there
is a 10-mile panoramic view of the
area. Admission is free; cost of the
ferry ride is $15 per person, round
trip.
Old Baldy was built in 1817 as a
beacon for vessels crossing the Cape
Fear Bar and navigating the river
channel. In 1861, after the start of
the Civil War, it was closed. Later it
operated as an interim light and
served as a radio beacon during
World War II.
The lighthouse was decommis
sioned in 1935 and replaced by the
Cape Fear Lighthouse, located clos
er to the hazardous Frying Pan
Shoals, and later by the automated
Oak Island Lighthouse.
In 1985, a commiuee formed the
Old Baldy Foundation, Inc., a non
profit organization dedicated to
restoring and preserving the struc
ture. In 1990, Old Baldy underwent
