National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act

The National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act is a U.S. law that aims to protect and preserve historic lighthouses, which are important maritime symbols and historic structures. It allows for the transfer of ownership of these lighthouses to non-profit organizations, state or local governments, and other entities committed to maintaining their heritage. By enabling these transfers, the act helps ensure that lighthouses are preserved for future generations, rather than falling into disrepair or being demolished. It reflects the value placed on maritime history and the architectural significance of these iconic structures.
