Thank you for your interest in preserving America's historic lighthouses. The National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act of 2000 (NHLPA), 16 U.S.C. 470, authorizes the disposal of historic lighthouses through a competitive merit-based
application process, in addition to establishing a national lighthouse preservation program. The program is administered through the combined efforts of the General Services Administration, Department of Interior's National Park Service,
and the U.S. Coast Guard. The role of GSA is the outreach to eligible entities and the marketing of these historic properties, as well as the conveyance of the property from federal ownership.
NHLPA recognizes the cultural, recreational, and educational value associated with these historic resources by allowing lighthouse properties to be transferred at no cost to eligible entities for park, recreational, cultural, historic,
and educational uses.
To be an eligible entity under NHLPA, you must represent:
a) any department or agency of the Federal Government,
b) any department of agency of the state in which the historic light station is located, the local community in which the historic light station is located,
c) a non-profit entity, educational agency, or community development organization
