East Brother Light Station

Richmond’s famed historic island lighthouse is a non-profit operation and depends on income from guests to pay for ongoing repair and maintenance. Although occupancy is up substantially from the 2008-2009 depths of the recession, more visitors are needed to generate the dollars for several capital projects, including a new copper roof for the lantern gallery, completion of painting started last summer, electrical work and roof repairs.

Volunteers are also needed constantly to paint, garden, work on historic machinery and assist with marketing and fundraising. Click here to find out more and register as a volunteer.
