Save Our History: American Lighthouses is a one-hour documentary that looks at the history, technology, and preservation of eight lighthouses located in different parts of the United States. Because of their intrinsic appeal, and because they are an ideal topic for interdisciplinary teaching, lighthouses provide an excellent learning vehicle for younger age groups.
