Question: Which state is home to America’s tallest lighthouse?
Answer: The Cape Hatteras Light Station in Buxton, North Carolina is the tallest lighthouse in America. It measures 198.49 feet from the bottom of the foundation to the top of the pinnacle of the tower. This height was needed to extend the range of the light-beam from the tower’s low-lying beach site, requiring 269 steps to get from the ground to the lens room of the lighthouse.
