The Lighthouse Preservation Society recently helped support a resolution designating August 7th as National Lighthouse Day, led by Senator Gary Peters of Michigan. In 1989, LPS had Congress proclaim National Lighthouse Day (August 7th) in celebration of America’s Lighthouse Bicentennial and created exhibits for the Senate and House Rotundas.
“U.S. Senator Gary Peters (MI) is leading a bipartisan resolution designating August 7, 2026 as “National Lighthouse Day.” The resolution – which Peters introduced with U.S. Senators Thom Tillis (R-NC) and Angus King (I-ME) – encourages all Americans to visit and support the preservation of our nation’s historic lighthouses.“
