North Head Lighthouse Celebration

The North Head Lighthouse recently celebrated the 115th Anniversary with an extra special event honoring the official ownership transfer from the US Coast Guard to Washington State Parks.

After listening to the Ilwaco High School Jazz Band and various dignitaries speak about the history of the Lighthouse - we all walked from the Lighthouse Keepers homes to the Lighthouse bluff. 

 A few years ago, local volunteers formed a non-profit to help with restoration efforts of our Lighthouse.

You can help by volunteering or becoming a member here. 

They also have a Facebook page with all the info.  Be sure to LIKE their page.

Now the badly needed restoration work can begin... but it is a big job.
