Rose Island Lighthouse Foundation is a non-profit organization located in Newport, Rhode Island. The foundation is responsible for the preservation and operation of the historic Rose Island Lighthouse, which was built in 1870 and served as a navigational aid for mariners in the Narragansett Bay until 1970. The lighthouse is situated on a 18-acre island and is only accessible by boat.

The foundation was established in 1984 with the mission to preserve, maintain and operate the lighthouse as a museum and educational center for the public. The Rose Island Lighthouse Museum offers a unique opportunity to explore the history and technology of lighthouses, maritime navigation, and the life of a lighthouse keeper. The museum also features exhibits on the ecology and natural history of the island and the bay.

In addition to the museum, the foundation offers overnight stays at the lighthouse for visitors who want to experience the life of a lighthouse keeper. The experience allows guests to participate in daily tasks such as maintaining the light and fog signal, as well as enjoying the island’s natural beauty.

The Rose Island Lighthouse Foundation is dedicated to preserving the lighthouse for future generations to enjoy and learn from. The foundation relies on the support of volunteers and donations to maintain the lighthouse, its museum, and educational programs.
