~ HECETA HEAD LIGHTHOUSE BED & BREAKFAST ~
Pronounced “Ha – SEE – Ta” by most, “HECK – ah – Ta” by others, yet everyone agrees Heceta Head is one of the most beautiful lighthouses in the world. The Heceta Head Lighthouse B&B was constructed in 1894. It has become a historic landmark which features period antique furnishings. One of the inn’s most unique features is its handcrafted wooden staircase which leads to guests’ accommodation.
Heceta Head Lighthouse has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. The site of the B&B originally included several buildings; however, they were demolished in 1940. After the house’s electrification, keepers were no longer needed. In 1963, the keepers moved away and what remained of the house was leased to Lane Community College in 1970. The porch of the Queen Anne house was renovated in 1981.
