Cape Henry Visitation

John Starling reports the week of April 1 (a six day week) brought 911 visitors to the Cape Henry Lighthouse. A good start for the month, and hopefully will continue a positive trend at the Lighthouse. The visitation counts for both February and March exceeded the 2007 levels and through the first three months, the Lighthouse is running 3.4% ahead of its pace last year! We have asked all sites to report on visitation on a weekly basis if possible so we can track trends more closely. To circle back to 2007, it proved a very good year for the Lighthouse: total annual visitation was 63,073 which represented an 8% increase over 2006, the first annual increase in visitation numbers since 2003 bested 2002! Well done John and crew!!
