Officials in the town of Jupiter have decided to re-locate a World War II barracks building from Burt Reynolds Park to Lighthouse Park in Dec. 7 with a special ceremony and dedication to Pearl Harbor Day.
Owners of the museum, the Loxahatchee River Historical Society, plan on moving the historic site to a two-story building and will rename it as Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse & Museum. This attraction in Jupiter will feature a new exhibit called “Florida in World War II,” a history of the barracks building that was developed by the Navy in 1941 and housed personnel.
The refurnishing of the building’s exteriors and interiors are being conducted by DooleyMack Constructors and was funded by the town at a cost of more than $1 million. The Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse & Museum will open to the public on Dec. 20.
Lighthouse Park is a recreational site with four tennis courts, two soccer fields and open areas. It covers 22 acres and is located near many homes in Jupiter.
