Point Lookout Lighthouse Preservation Society (PLLPS), Inc. | |
August 2, 2014 The gray skies and the threat of rain could not dampen the spirits of our volunteers or our visitors as we welcomed 203 people from far and wide- including 4 visitors from as far away as Switzerland. Senator Roy Dyson stopped by to see how the lighthouse is doing and to check in on our volunteers. Our volunteer, Brenda Carroll- a Yeatman descendent- welcomed a group of visitors from some of her Yeatman kin, who visited their ancestor's home place. We continued our sticker program for those visitors who climbed the tower into the lantern room. The stickers were designed for kids- of all ages.

Volunteer Kim Hammond gives out stickers to visitors after they climbed the steps to the lantern room and enjoyed the spectacular views. The swamp rose is the largest since we began our adopt a swamp rose program. A close up view of the swamp rose. Photos by Lisa Kane |
