130th Birthday celebration - March 1st 2026

Thank you to the over 200 hundred people who came out to help celebrate our lighthouse’s 130th Birthday.

Winter 2025 - Failing roof and Gutter System

A recent assessment of the health of the Lighthouse structure by the State of Oregon Historical Engineer revealed that the very old roof on the lighthouse is failing. The copper gutter system along the top of the building has failed to the degree that water is intruding into the brick, mortar and plaster undermining the integrity of the building. A recent storm blew a section of ridge shingles off.

This situation is now quite urgent.

We are working with the State of Oregon Parks and Recreation Department to develop the construction documents to get bids and secure funding. Due to budget constraints with OPRD, raising matching funds from the community and lighthouse supporters is critical to make this happen. Please consider donating and sharing this information.

Fall 2025 - Repair the Stairs Project

The stairs and railings are in desperate need of repair and could become a safety hazard.

Thank you to all the lighthouse lovers who came out to our “Save the Lighthouse” event. The money raised is designated to cover the cost for granite repair on the steps and to replace the railings. We are in process to get repair quotes and approval from Oregon Parks and Recreation Department to begin the repairs.
