The United States Marine Corps traces their origins to the formation of the Continental Marines on November 10, 1775. Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse and Museum is proud to announce we now know the names of most of the 50+ Marines who were assigned to guard duty at Station J between fall 1942 and July 1945. (Only about a dozen were assigned here at one time.)

Nov. 11th..the Lighthouse goes Green! America’s veterans are some of our nation’s bravest, hardest-working men and women. However, it’s hard to show them the appreciation they deserve when, back home and out of uniform, they’re more camouflaged than ever. GreenlightAVe.comt is a campaign to establish visible national support for our veterans by changing one light to green. Visit their site and see what you can do!
