Old Baldy Foundation is a nonprofit organization located in Bald Head Island, North Carolina. The foundation was established in 1983 to preserve and maintain the historic Bald Head Island Lighthouse, also known as Old Baldy.

Built in 1817, Old Baldy is the oldest lighthouse in North Carolina, and it played an important role in guiding ships through the treacherous waters of the Cape Fear River. The lighthouse was decommissioned in 1935, and it fell into disrepair until the 1980s, when the Old Baldy Foundation began its restoration efforts.

Today, the foundation is dedicated to preserving the lighthouse and its surrounding buildings, including the keeper's cottage and the oil house. The foundation also operates a museum at the base of the lighthouse, which houses exhibits on the history of Bald Head Island and maritime navigation.

In addition to its preservation efforts, the Old Baldy Foundation also offers educational programs and events for visitors of all ages. These programs include guided tours of the lighthouse and museum, as well as workshops on maritime history and heritage crafts.

Overall, the Old Baldy Foundation is a vital organization that has worked tirelessly to preserve the rich history and unique beauty of Bald Head Island and its iconic lighthouse.
