Welcome to the Huntington Lighthouse

For residents of Huntington and surrounding communities the Huntington Lighthouse is a familiar and treasured landmark. Its beacon has safely guided boats into Huntington Harbor for the past century.. But many people aren’t aware that this unique Beaux Arts structure, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, once came close to demolition. In 1985, The U.S. Coast Guard was prepared to tear down the crumbling structure and replace it with a utilitarian steel lighthouse. That’s when a local group, Save Huntington’s Lighthouse, was formed. Founded by Janis Harrington, the private group was the first in the country to successfully take over and restore an offshore lighthouse..

Since then, the nonprofit organization, now called the Huntington Lighthouse Preservation Society (HLPS), under the guidance of president Pamela Setchell, has raised funds for restoration work largely from donations and the help of volunteers. .
