Fascinating documentary! I got to see it, it's such a cool lighthouse and a piece of History.

That was a great documentary, I've lived in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia most of my life and remember when this happened and was all over the news. I'm glad it was saved!

Back in the '60s and '70s, our family would vacation in Buxton, and the friends that I met there would climb that lighthouse almost every day of our two-week vacation. So many great memories were made there on The Outer Banks. I live in Florida now but would love to go back someday to relive my youth.

I remember visiting before and after the move. Still have not made it all the way to the top.

Commendable that they included the people who weren't in favor of it. Difficult to include all views these days.
