Visiting with Huell Howser

Lindbergh Beacon

Season 19 Episode 1904

Huell traces the history of the 1928 Lindbergh Beacon, which was discovered at a city warehouse in the 1990s, restored to its original glory, and now shines over downtown Los Angeles from the top of City Hall. We also revisit Huell’s original segment on the Beacon, when Project Restore rededicated the Beacon in the LAX terminal after its 50-year absence.
