Chicago Harbor Lighthouse - Past, Present, and Future presented by Edward Torrez from the Friends of the Chicago Harbor Lighthouse, the non-profit formed to save Chicago’s iconic lighthouse. The Chicago Harbor Lighthouse was constructed in 1893 for the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago celebrating the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus’ arrival in the New World in 1492. The lighthouse moved to its current location in 1919. Although having fallen into disrepair in recent years, the lighthouse continues to symbolize Chicago’s history and unique maritime past. A group called Friends of the Chicago Lighthouse has committed to the preservation, restoration, and celebration of the Chicago Harbor Lighthouse for future generations.
