This site is part of a project to support the Craighill Channel Lower Range Front lighthouse and promote the histories and preservation of the other Craighill Range lights by Historical Place Preservation, Inc. (HPP), a 501(c)3 non-profit organization (EIN 14 - 1885135). After a three year application process with the federal government under the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act (NHLPA) of 2000, the organization successfully acquired stewardship of the Craighill Channel Lower Range Front Beacon (the caisson off North Point). None of the other lighthouses in the Upper or Lower range have become available under the NHLPA program yet.

HPP's efforts to raise funds, volunteers, and local support will sustain the restoration and preservation of initially the front beacon and ultimately allow the light to be opened to public tours. The goal is to bring about more education and awareness of these pillars of history which are becoming quickly obsolete in the age of GPS and guidance devices. Many lighthouses across the US are deteriorating rapidly due to lack of attention and funds. We want to reverse that and have these lights shine where they stand in all their former glory!
