The project was completed in October 2009 and a grand reopening inviting the public to enjoy its beauty.In 2013 approval was granted from the Coast Guard to open an original tower entrance that had been boarded up in the hallway of the musuem. This new entrance to the tower was completed and fire proof doors were installed. Changes to the electrical room at the base of the tower were made, and finanally in 2013 the hallway floors, walls, and hand rails were all refurbished. Most of this work was supported through funds from the Van Beuren Grant and tower vistor donations.$867-
