VIRTUAL: WOMEN LIGHTHOUSE KEEPERS & THE HISTORY OF THE US LIGHTHOUSE SERVICE WITH MARY RASA
Families lived and worked at lighthouses. The keeper’s family learned to tend the light and a few hundred wives and daughters became the official keepers or assistant keepers. This was one of the first government career fields open to females. This program explores the US Lighthouse Service and looks at five remarkable women keepers. The US Coast Guard assumed control of lighthouses in 1939.
Mary Rasa is a native of New Jersey where she was museum curator/park ranger for the National Park Service at Sandy Hook. Mary currently runs her own business writing exhibits, brochures and grants as well as conducting history talks for non-profits, libraries, senior centers and historic sites.
