Day 9 - Time Forgotten The Sabine Pass Lighthouse, one of only three built in the United States of similar design, went into operation in 1857. It remained lit for 95 years with the exception of a brief period during the Civil War when it was temporarily shut down. The light was permanently extinguished by the Coast Guard in 1952 when modern technology made it obsolete. The wharfs, keepers house and wooden outbuilding have all been destroyed by marsh fire. The Lighthouse has since been entered into the National Register of Historical Places.
