  • National Historic Preservation Act Program
    GSA Public Buildings Service National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act Program Lighthouses, also known as light stations, are widely recognized as cultural landmarks throughout the United States. They represent the significant contributions that mariners have made to our country for industrial, territorial, and recreational purposes. Many states and communities around the country have adopted their local light station as a symbol of the creation and duration of their township. Historically, lighthouses have provided a constant beacon for traveling mariners searching for safe coastal waters. With recent technological advances, light stations are no longer needed exclusively for this purpose but are being sought to provide a continued cultural resonance for future generations. The National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act (NHLPA) program takes pride in its work with states, local communities, and the public to convey these historic properties to new stewards that will continue preserving their memories and historic significance. introduction. 7 Whaleback Ledge Light, ME National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act Program 1 2 National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act Program The National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act of 2000, Public Law 106-355, amended the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, Public Law 89-665, by providing a mechanism for the conveyance of federally-owned historic light stations to qualified new stewards.
