Notes: In 1887 a lens lantern atop a twelve foot stake at the entrance to  Budd  inlet .  In 1934, the light was upgraded a notch to the present thirty-foot, pyramidal concrete tower. Unlike most lighthouses, Dofflemeyer Point was not assigned a formal keeper. Instead, local residents were contracted to care for the light and activate the fog signal.  In the 1960s the light was automated by the Coast Guard, however, the fog signal still required manual activation.  
Mrs. Campbell served as guardian of the tower until the fog signal was automated in 1987. Today, Coast Guard personnel aboard a buoy tender maintain the signal.
