🍻 What’s ON TAP:
"Showcasing a Jewel – Augustin Fresnel and the Cape Fear Light Station’s Lens"
Presented by our very own educator Jake Grossman
When Old Baldy Lighthouse was first lit in 1817, its beacon barely reached 10 miles. Enter French physicist Jean Augustin Fresnel, whose groundbreaking lens technology revolutionized maritime navigation. Learn how his invention became known as the “light that saved a million ships,” and how a tale of science, revolution, and innovation connects all the way back to Bald Head Island and Old Baldy.
🎁 Door Prizes Include:
A Tour for Four on our Island Wide History Tour of Bald Head Island
A signed copy of The Story of Cape Fear and Bald Head Island by Kevin P. Duffus
A $50 gift card to Brunswick Beer and Cider

Bring a friend, buy a drink, and raise a glass to history—ON TAP!
