The Port Royal Lighthouse Association is raising funds to restore and maintain the Port Royal Lighthouse, from its foundations to the top of its metal catwalk. The Associations’s goal is $50,000. Local sawmill owners will donate the lumber, which is a wonderful start.

So much work to be done to the 138 year-old structure.

For the community, doing nothing is not an option. Major repairs are urgently needed. The Association has launched a gofundme campaign. To learn more about this important restoration and to offer support, please visit: Port Royal Lighthouse Association – Home.
