Who We Areโฆ
The American Lighthouse Foundation is leading the way in saving our nationโs lighthouses and their rich heritage. Enjoy this information about lighthouses and their positive part of our nautical history.
In doing so, the organization is helping to ensure these stately beacons continue to thrive as special places that help enrich the cultural fabric of our coastal communities and the lives of the countless visitors they touch from every corner of the globe.
The sustaining success of ALFโs mission is accomplished by inspiring volunteers and donors alike to make a meaningful difference in helping restore and preserve our treasured coastal sentinels through their dedication and passion.
This success is measured in part by the general public who is provided an opportunity to bask in the one-of-a-kind experience of โwalking in the steps of the keepersโ through educational access programs.
The combination of community involvement on all levels and a commitment to public access of these timeless treasures makes ALFโs work as much about people as the lighthouses themselves โ a focus that fosters mission sustainability through the cultivation of a preservation ethic among people of all ages and backgrounds.
The mission of the American Lighthouse Foundation is to save and preserve our nationโs historic light stations and their rich heritage.

This will be accomplished through the restoration, promotion and adaptive re-use of Americaโs historic light stations, as well as educational initiatives that foster the sustainable preservation of lighthouses and perpetuate the legacy of the men and women who have tended them.โ

I took this photo in 2017. Killantringan Lighthouse is located near Portpatrick in Dumfries and Galloway, south-west Scotland. The light came into operation in 1900, and served as a waypoint in the North Channel of the Irish Sea.
