About Fog Signal Building

The Fog Signal Building Museum houses the history and technology of the Point Arena Light Station, a 156-year-old installation on the Mendocino County coast. Visitors explore the museum's centerpiece, the original 1st Order Fresnel lens that illuminated the 115-foot lighthouse tower from 1908 through 1977. The site visit includes access to the Indoor Museum, the 23-acre Outdoor Museum with stone installations, native plant gardens, blufftop hiking trails and whale-watching spots, and the Light Station Store stocked with T-shirts, jackets, jewelry, books, postcards, decorative housewares and glassware. The experience suits families and individuals interested in maritime history, coastal ecosystems and panoramic Pacific Ocean views. A typical visit involves self-guided exploration of exhibits and grounds. Members and children under 12 receive free admission to the site visit, according to pointarenalighthouse.com, saving up to five dollars per child.
