Sabine Pass Lighthouse, Louisiana Posters from Zazzle.com



The Sabine Pass Lighthouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981, the first property in Cameron Parish to make the list. The octagonal brick structure with a flared octagonal base is believed unique on the Mississippi-Louisiana-Texas coasts.

The lighthouse, built in 1857 for $22,258, served as a navigational aid in trade and aided the westward migration in Southeast Texas and Southwest Louisiana.
