Preservation

The Light Station/Lake Erie Lights actively works to preserve and care for Erie's historic lighthouses, following industry best practice standards, to ensure their stewardship for future generations.

Memberships and donations help to fund necessary maintenance, capital improvement, and restoration projects. Your support ensures these important sentinels stand for generations to come.

Education & Access

Education and access for all are key to our mission of shining a light on Erie's maritime history and historic lighthouses.

Our interpretive and educational programs provide engaging and meaningful experiences for guests of all ages.

Your support can help us to expand these offerings and maintain free and low-cost community educational programs.


“Erie's historic three lights are indelible parts of its maritime landscape. Thanks to the support of our members and donors, these community landmarks, and the history they represent, are being preserved and made accessible for the benefit of residents and visitors today and tomorrow.”

— Melinda Meyer, Board of Trustees
