Brick Campaign for Nobska

Friends of Nobska Light is a 501(c)(3) organization as determined by the Internal Revenue Service. Your gift is tax-deductible to the extent permissible by law. Please contact your tax adviser to understand all circumstances surrounding your potential donation. 

 As we complete our site work making the grounds ADA compliant and open a Maritime Museum in the newly renovated Keeper’s House, we plan to lay the walkway and terrace leading to the Maritime Museum & Lighthouse with 4x8 granite bricks.

This is your opportunity to celebrate, commemorate, or memorialize loved ones at Nobska for future generations to come! Please note that as this is tied to our construction timeline, the pre-sale price is $235 per brick; after October 1, the price is $285 per brick.

 Since 2015, with strong community support, a successful annual fund, and project-based grants, Friends of Nobska Light (FoNL) has completed the initial goal of rehabilitating the Lighthouse Tower and developed a Master Plan for the historic buildings and site. However, the Nobska story is far from complete. There is more work to be done. To that end, FoNL launched a phased comprehensive capital campaign in May 2018 to advance the transformation of the Nobska Light property. 

 1. Preservation and Restoration – Required Investment: $2.5 Million

Complete the historical preservation and rehabilitation of Nobska Light Tower, transform the Keeper’s House into a public facility, and improve the overall accessibility of the Nobska Light property. 

2. Maritime Museum and Education Programs – Required Investment: $1.25 Million

Establish a Maritime Museum and develop innovative exhibits, public education programs for all ages, and activities that fulfill the mission while engaging strategic partnerships for collaboration.

3. Fiscal Sustainability – Required Investment: $1.25 Million

Develop effective strategies to address Nobska Lighthouse and Maritime Museum’s long-term financial stability and sustainability, incorporating the diversification of revenue sources, inclusive of ongoing operations and campaign costs during the three-year period.
