BLOCK ISLAND NORTH LIGHT ASSOCIATION

BLOCK ISLAND, RI

The Block Island North Light Association is a non-profit organization located in Block Island, Rhode Island. The association was formed in 1993 with the aim of preserving the historical landmark, the Block Island North Lighthouse. The lighthouse was first built in 1829 and was rebuilt in 1867 after being destroyed in a storm. It is a 55-foot tall granite tower that is an iconic symbol of Block Island's maritime history.

The association has worked diligently to restore and maintain the lighthouse and its surrounding buildings, which include a keeper’s house and a boathouse. They have also developed a museum that showcases the history of the lighthouse and its role in maritime navigation. The association conducts tours of the lighthouse and museum, which are open to the public during the summer season.

The Block Island North Light Association is run by a board of directors and relies on the support of volunteers and donors to carry out its mission. They organize fundraising events throughout the year to raise money for the ongoing maintenance and preservation of the lighthouse. The association also collaborates with other organizations to promote the cultural and historical significance of the lighthouse and its role in the community.
