Historic U.S. Lighthouses Up For Grabs

And Kristen, you can now own a piece of us maritime history. The federal government is looking for people who want to own lighthouses and help preserve some of the country's century old properties. 10 former lighthouses are looking for new owners and six of them are going to be given away for free. They, you know, they are lighthouses available in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island. Uh Some of the lighthouses sold in the past were preserved for educational purposes and even converted to residences. So can you imagine Kristen living in a lighthouse, Duarte? This says one thing to me and that's Airbnb. I see it. But the thing is Kristen, these things are effectively on little islands so you have to be able to sail out there, come back and if there is a storm, you better do more than close the shade. Have you seen where people airbnb? True. Very well said, I, I've heard people airbnb back seats and cars. So there is a market for that. We'll be following that story for sure.
