Get Ready for our Annual Online Auction...Bidding Begins January 30th!
Starting on January 30, 2025, the American Lighthouse Foundation will be hosting our annual Online Auction event to benefit our lighthouse preservation and education mission.
Our goal is to raise $25,000 with this year's Online Auction event.
Why? The funds we raise during this event provide vital financial resources to support our ongoing mission-based programs. Through historic preservation, education and public access programs, the American Lighthouse Foundation is "leaving the light on" for future generations.
Working to Make Lighthouses Resilient:
Did you know that over one-third of Maine's lighthouses experienced harm during storms in January & April 2024? These severe events highlighted the critical need to make these historic structures and their access points more resilient to the adverse effects of wind and sea. To begin addressing this need, the American Lighthouse Foundation established a Storm and Mitigation Committee tasked with creating an action plan and assembling resiliency resources for lighthouse stewards to access.
