With the kids out of school, parents teaching class, we want to help with History Class! Listen in to Bolivar LIVE Class 101 on the Bolivar Lighthouse today. The Lighthouse was built in 1872 and towers 117 ft. above sea level. It guided mariners for 61 years and was retired in 1933 when it was replaced by the South Jetty light. The 52,000 candle-power beacon guided ships through the channel, which in earlier years was undredged, safely from the Gulf of Mexico into the Port of Galveston.
