Photo Caption:

Historic image of the Crooked River Lighthouse in Carrabelle, Florida, taken in 1895 as it was close to completion, and just before the Fresnel lens was installed in the lantern. It was here where James A. Williams became the first keeper of the new lighthouse. Also, Charles H. Williams served here as an assistant keeper from 1906 to 1909 and John L. Williams served here as an assistant keeper from 1909 to 1911. Today, the lighthouse is cared for by the Carrabelle Lighthouse Foundation, who operate a museum and gift shop in a replica of the keepers’ house.
