Historic Nottoway Lighthouse

The first and oldest lighthouse in Nottoway County, Virginia, was founded in 2010 at the original site of Mark Park.  Set back 8 miles from the main road, the “light up all night” (termed by the locals) provides light 24 hours a day for those who wander the unpopulated forests of Nottoway County.  This lighthouse holds many records for being the tallest, brightest, and longest-running of all of Nottoway County.

For more information,  follow the light in the woods to the Historic Nottoway County Lighthouse!
