One Hec of a party

Though she doesn’t look a day over 100, the Heceta Head Lightstation is celebrating her 130th birthday this Saturday, March 30.

This family-friendly event takes place at the Heceta Lighthouse Bed & Breakfast, located inside the historical lighthouse keeper's home.

The day begins with an Easter egg hunt, followed by hot dogs and cupcakes. Live musicians will play and local agency representatives will be present to talk about the outstanding natural features of the area, as well as volunteers from the Heceta Lighthouse Interpretive Center at the Keeper's Home and Oregon State Parks volunteers at the lighthouse tower.

The party runs from 11 am to 3 pm. The park is located off Hwy. 101, roughly 20 miles south of Yachats. Parking is available at the Heceta Head Lighthouse State Scenic Viewpoint for $5 per vehicle.
