The Villages Lighthouse is a decorative waterfront landmark at Lake Sumter Landing. Its tower and harbor setting help give the town center the character of an established lakeside community.
The structure was created as part of Lake Sumter Landing rather than as a historic coastal aid to navigation. It also reflects the community’s long-standing interest in lighthouses and its active support for lighthouse preservation.
The lighthouse can be viewed from the public areas around Lake Sumter Landing. It is an exterior landmark and is not presented as a climbable lighthouse.
The structure remains a decorative landmark within The Villages. It is not an official aid to navigation.
