A handful even allow guests to perform various keeper's duties-raising the flag, recording the weather, and other odd jobs-to help maintain the properties. All provide spectacular scenery, historic surroundings, and a rare opportunity to experience the serenity and simplicity of a keeper's life. Zusammenfassung Information provided in each profile includes history of the lighthouse and the area! background of the present-day keepers! and a description of the accommodations and the guest experience! plus all pertinent practical details--addresses! telephone numbers! e-mail addresses! directions! seasons of operation! rates! and more.
