π Exciting Update from the Port George District Lighthouse Society! π
We are thrilled to announce that restoration work has officially begun on our beloved lighthouse! π οΈ The siding is being replaced, and other essential repairs are underway to preserve this historic treasure.
This project has been made possible thanks to the incredible support from our community and a generous grant from the County of Annapolis. π However, during the restoration, we discovered unexpected wood rot, which has increased the costs. To complete the project, we now need additional funds.
A huge thank you to the County of Annapolis for their continued support, and to Mike Veinot Construction for their dedicated work on this project.
Earlier this year, we also began restoring the seawall, which will continue once the lighthouse work is complete. The County of Annapolis has generously contributed to this project as well.
If you'd like to help preserve this piece of our heritage, donations can be made via e-transfer to [email protected]. For income tax receipts, or other ways to donate, please email your contact information to the same address.
Let's come together to ensure our lighthouse continues to shine bright for generations to come! π―οΈ
