History
of the Light :
In 1872 the first lighthouse was
erected at Holland harbor. The keeper at that time was M. Van
Regenmorter. A keeper's dwelling with a light tower was constructed in
1907. In 1936 the lantern was relocated to a small tower constructed
atop the keeper's dwelling. The original tower was then removed. The
light has since been covered with steel plates to help protect the
wooden structure from the elements. The tower now houses an automated
250 millimeter plastic beacon.
