One of the most noteworthy landmarks in the town is the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse, which was completed in 1860. The lighthouse is located on the north side of the Jupiter Inlet, and is located between the Cape Canaveral Light and Hillsboro Inlet Light.
Built on a hill that was once thought to be an Indian shell mound or midden, today it is know that the site sits on a natural parabolic sand dune.
The Loxahatchee River Historical Society (LRHS) in 1972 was founded as a means to preserve the history of the area, and the Oil House Museum was opened in 1973 as a result. An agreement with the Coast Guard in 1994 has allowed the LRHS to conduce public tours of the top of the lighthouse, and in turn maintain and insure the landmark.
The lighthouse was painted red in 1910 to hide the discoloration of the brick caused by humidity. The lighthouse is often used as a symbol for the town.
