Point Isabel Light - Texas

Saving the light station from the wrecker's ball or the hands of vandals, the Texas Legislature in 1947 authorized its acquistion by the Texas State Parks Board, providing twenty-five thousand dollars for repairs and maintenance. A number of months passed before the agency assumed actual resposibility for the site, but in 1951 contracts were let for its general rehabilitation. In ceremonies held at the base of the historic lighthouse on April 26, 1952, the structure was dedicated as a Texas state park.
