We invite you to join representatives of the American Lighthouse Foundation (ALF) and its chapter, Friends of Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouse (FPHL), on March 7, 2009, at 1:00 p.m., for a fun and informational event at the First Congregational Church in Kittery, Maine. Mr. James Gabbert, National Park Service historian, will serve as the keynote speaker for this special event announcing ALF’s new ownership of Whaleback Lighthouse.
Bob Trapani, executive director of ALF, along with Ross Tracy and Jeremy D’Entremont of FPHL, will also discuss the organization’s stewardship of Whaleback Lighthouse, a 50-foot granite tower offshore from Kittery at the mouth of the Piscataqua River. Ownership of the 1872 lighthouse was conveyed in November 2008 to ALF/FPHL under the guidelines of the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act of 2000.
Admission is free. Light refreshments will be served. The First Congregational Church is at 23 Pepperrell Road (Route 103) in Kittery, about two miles from U.S. Route 1.
