The Cape Canaveral Lighthouse is the only fully operational lighthouse owned
by the United States Air Force. The optic is maintained as an active aid to
navigation by the U.S. Coast Guard, the lighthouse itself was transferred to
Air Force ownership on December 14, 2000. It is the purpose of the
Foundation to assist the 45th Space Wing in preserving, protecting and
interpreting the Cape Canaveral Lighthouse and its historical significance
to the Space Coast, State of Florida, and the United States of America. Your
help in the restoration of this historic landmark allows us to be part of
the future by preserving the past.
