The first New Canal Lighthouse was built in 1839 at the entrance of the New Basin Canal at Lake Pontchartrain. Later on, a replica of the New Canal Lighthouse, destroyed by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005, has been built. It incorporates original wood from the 1890 lighthouse that stood on the site and now operates as Lake Pontchartrain Basin Foundation's New Canal Lighthouse Museum and Education Center.
Its reconstruction has been made with KOURASANIT ecological materials.
All columns from the lighthouse have been plastered with KOURASANIT natural Filler Coatings, in early February 2013. KOURASANIT Paints and Filler Coatings are based on mineral aggregates and sands combined with natural pozzolane - (lava) and lime.
KOURASANIT products are appropriate for any kind of interior and exterior applications.
