 National Lighthouse Day, August 7, 2023 AND IT'S WEEKEND we, at the NATIONAL LIGHTHOUSE MUSEUM IN STATEN iSLAND ,NY  celebrate how these scenic, historic structures comforted travelers throughout the centuries. In 1789, the U.S. Congress passed an ACT securing the protection of all lighthouses under federal support.

If you ever visit a lighthouse and/or the National Lighthouse Museum, you’ll understand the serenity and stability they represent to viewers on land.  While lighthouse technology has evolved over time, LIGHTHOUSES  were once widely used to mark dangerous reefs, shorelines or harbors.  Today, we imagine how a lighthouse’s beacon of light offered hope to those seeking land in the midst of stormy seas and dark night.

Please join us at the National Lighthouse Museum located at :

 200 The Promenade at Lighthouse Point, St. George, Staten Island, NY for our FULL WEEKEND ACTIVITIES.......
