The Point Lookout Lighthouse Preservation Society (PLLPS), Inc. was formed to restore the Point Lookout Lighthouse Buildings to the 1927 time period and to educate the public on the rich history of the lighthouse. The PLLPS will provide volunteers for events that allow the public to access the lighthouse buildings and will collect donations from visitors. (Public access to the lighthouse complex is restricted by a locked fence, except during specific dates.) PLLPS is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization, and donations are tax deductible as permitted by law.

******NEWS FLASH *******
Help us find the two people who broke into the lighthouse on March 15, 2013. See the youtube video at:

http://youtu.be/UDce6Q97VmA

If you know who either of these perpetrators are, please contact the Natural Resources Police at 301-645-0062. Officer Kraemer is handling the investigation. The vandals ripped off plywood and damaged a window to gain entry for only a few minutes...but just long enough to be caught on security cameras. Vandals will be aggressively pursued to prevent damage to our Southern Maryland Landmark. If you want to get in the lighthouse, please ask us about one of our legal programs that will get you inside.

Please join us for our next Open House on Saturday, July 13th, 10 am to 2 pm

UPDATE: Hurricane Sandy caused some problems. See this story for pictures:
