Point Lookout Lighthouse Preservation Society

  Point Lookout Lighthouse Preservation Society (PLLPS), Inc.



The lighthouse will continue to be closed to the public until further notice due to the Covid 19 pandemic.

We have been waiting for many years and we are pleased to announce that the lighthouse should be completed in 2021! Unfortunately, we will not be able to hold our regular events (including paranormal events), but we will be posting updates to our website and social media (FaceBook and Twitter) with pictures that will chronicle the restoration. Exterior renovations to the lighthouse, coal and buoy sheds are largely complete.

Additional delays are expected due to the Corona Pandemic. Last updated 07/20/2021




Please note that we are unable to mail the National Lighthouse Association;s Passport stamps. Thank you for your understanding and we hope to see you when we reopen to the public. Stamps may be available in person only at the park store during the season




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.



The October Spirits of Point Lookout aka Ghost Walk events are no longer being held.


We love having visitors- during our regularly scheduled events that is! Details at:

Geocache Comes to Point Lookout Lighthouse Complex

PLLPS has joined Geocache world. Check out the link below for a clue. Unfortunately, the cache is only accessible during times that the lighthouse is open, so please check out the Upcoming Events link (on the left, maroon navigation bar) to find out when we are open for our next public event.

What life was like in 1927?

Check out our new section about what life was like in 1927, which is our target period for the restoration of the lighthouse. More examples of life in 1927 coming soon. We would like to thank our volunteer Hillary Murdoch for using her artistic and technical talents to create this Flash presentation.
