SULLIVANS ISLAND, S.C. (AP) — The National Park Service is scheduled to open the buildings at the lighthouse on Sullivans Island to visitors.

The historic Coast Guard District where the light is located has buildings dating to the late 1800s, when it was part of what was called the U.S. Life-Saving Service. The Life-Saving Service and the Revenue Cutter Service were combined as the Coast Guard in 1915.
