The Society maintains the 1826 Fire Island Lighthouse, which still remains an active aid to navigation. Experienced staff guide visitors around the site, which provides panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean, the Great South Bay, Fire Island, Long Island, and the Manhattan Skyline; exhibits are also displayed in the space.
The society offers exhibits and tours.
Formed in 1970 to save the 1879 Emlen Physick Estate from the wrecking ball, MAC now operates the 18-room restored mansion as Cape May's only Victorian house museum. MAC also restored and operates the 1859 Cape May Lighthouse where visitors can climb the 199 steps to the top for a view of the Delaware Bay and Atlantic Ocean. Year-round, MAC offers a full schedule of tours and events, including trolley, boat, walking, and ghost tours; food and wine events; summertime family activities; Spring Festival in April and May; the Cape May Music Festival in May and June; Victorian Week in early October; Halloween activities in late October; and six weeks of Christmas tours and events.
The center and its properties offer exhibits, tours, and educational and recreational programs.
The Chapter focuses on implementing the U.S. Lighthouse Society's goals in the Chesapeake Bay area, particularly with regard to the lighthouses and lightships of Virginia and Maryland: It seeks to preserve and restore existing lighthouses and protect, preserve, and disseminate lighthouse history.
The chapter offers educational programs (specifically, speakers available for school presentations).
Participants will step back in time to a simpler life on uninhabited St. Helena Island. Participants will be immersed in the life and times of Great Lakes lighthouse keepers, including history, culture, and songs. Educators and youth leaders will sleep in the lighthouse bedrooms, cook with each other in the summer kitchen, and keep watch on the lantern deck as lighthouse families did 100 years ago. Activity classes, all based on the Michigan State Standards, offer the participant a means to integrate real world Great Lakes concepts into their classrooms. Some examples of these activities include topographical mapping, lens/prism and sound technology, use of primary reference materials, storytelling, journal entry, and decision making, to name just a few.
Currently does not have a publicly-available exhibit space or affordable tours for school-age audiences.
Appears to be a private individual's website, not an organization's or an individual historic site's.
The Association is dedicated to preserving Great Lakes lighthouses and the history of the people who kept them by developing a new generation of preservationists.
The association offers workshops, cruises, and tours.
Seems to be more a preservation organization than an actual tourable historical site.
The society does not offer interpretive media or programs on a regular basis.
