For nearly a century and a half, Pigeon Point Lighthouse has stood as a symbol of California's spirit, a reminder of its past, and a focal point for community amid a stunning coastal landscape. Threatened by exposure to the elements and structural decay, it requires comprehensive rehabilitation to reopen this important landmark and provide educational opportunities to the hundreds of thousands of tourists, school children, and hostel guests who visit Pigeon Point Light Station each year. Planned repairs are intended to meet the strictest national standards for historic preservation so that the lighthouse regains and retains its original beauty and character as it stands guard over California's coast for the next century and beyond.
