Along the way

 

 

Lake Minatare State Recreation Area in Nebraska.  It has a lighthouse.


 

 

It doesn’t need a lighthouse. It’s not a very big lake, and it’s in Nebraska!  But during the dark days of the depression, it was constructed as a beacon of hope.  Built entirely of native stone by the Veterans Conservation Corps, it was completed in 1939 and is now known as the Plains Lighthouse.  It doesn’t really have a light at the top.  It serves as an observation tower and attraction.
