National Lighthouse Day, celebrated on August 7th, is a special day to honor lighthouses. These tall structures help guide ships safely through dark or stormy seas using bright lights. Long ago, lighthouses were very important for sailors to find their way and avoid dangerous rocks. On this day, people remember the history and stories of lighthouses and the keepers who took care of them. In many places, families can visit lighthouses, learn about their role, and enjoy fun lighthouse-related activities. It's a day to appreciate how these beacons helped protect ships and sailors in the past.
