National Lighthouse Day HistoryNational Lighthouse Day celebrates the important role lighthouses have played throughout history. Being symbolic beacons of hope and safety, lighthouses have not only guided sailors to safe shores but have also represented the unwavering spirit of the maritime community. This commemorative day aims to raise awareness about the preservation of these historical structures and their significance in American culture. The origin of National Lighthouse Day dates back to August 7, 1789, when the U.S. Congress enacted a law transferring lighthouses from individual states to the federal government, which led to the establishment of the United States Lighthouse Service. Since then, lighthouses have played a crucial role in the nation's development and expansion by ensuring the safety and navigation of countless ships. In 1989, as part of the 200th anniversary celebration, President George H. W. Bush officially designated August 7th as National Lighthouse Day. The observance pays homage to the dedicated services of lighthouse keepers and the rich maritime heritage of America. On National Lighthouse Day, people across the United States come together to celebrate and appreciate these iconic structures. Lighthouse preservation organizations and maritime museums host various events, including open houses, guided tours, and educational presentations. Communities gather to share stories, engage in historical discussions, and promote the efforts to preserve the nation's lighthouses for future generations to cherish. Mark your calendars for August 7th and join the celebrations honoring the enduring legacy of American lighthouses. National Lighthouse Day facts
