Notes: December 14, 1857 the lighthouse was lit.  Being the second lighthouse established in the Washington territory.   The original New Dungeness lighthouse was 1 1/2 story cape cod style duplex with a tower rising from the roof.  The tower stood at 92 ft.  The lighthouse also had a fogbell, which was replaced by a steam whistle in 1873.
Over time the tower devoloped structural cracks and in 1927 it was shortened by 30 ft.  The original lantern room and lens was to large for the tower they were replaced by the lantern room and fourth order lens from the decommissioned Admiralty Head.  A modern optic was installed in 1976, and the Fresnel appartus turned off.
New Dungeness lighthouse is now located in the Dungeness Wildlife Refuge.  The refuge is haven to more then 250 species of birds, forty one species of land mammals, and eight species of marine mammals.
