Henry Lighthouse in Virginia Beach, Virginia holds a distinction most Americans don't know about — it was the first lighthouse authorized by the United States federal government, signed into law by George Washington himself in 1791. But the story of Cape Henry goes far deeper than that. This stretch of Virginia coastline was the first landfall of the English settlers who would go on to found Jamestown, a site of Revolutionary War skirmishes, and a strategic point guarding the entrance to the Chesapeake Bay through two World Wars. In this video we explore the full history of one of America's most overlooked historic landmarks.
