Halfmoon Reef Lighthouse

Established in 1858 on Matagorda Bay, it was kept dark during the Civil War for the benefit of blockade runners. It was reactivated in 1868. Though severely damaged in the 1942 hurricane, the keeper kept the light operating. It was condemned after the storm and moved in 1943 from its location on a WWII bombing range to Point Comfort. It was moved again in 1979 to site next to chamber of commerce. Texas 35 Bypass near causeway.
