A view into the past

This is what the lighthouse used to look like:

The Middle Ground Lighthouse

Middle Ground Lighthouse, a symbol of pride, beauty, and security to the watermen of the James River and all who would gaze upon it, is now under the care and restoration of two families who consider the water to be a home of their own.

The Gonsoulins of Williamsburg, VA and the Billingsleys of Annapolis, MD are the new owners of Middle Ground. The United States Coast Guard will continue to check the service of the light regularly to maintain its function. The two families will work hard to bring the lighthouse exterior back to its original state of beauty with the added task of ensuring safety to all visitors and workers of the light.
