The Lighthouse Society was established to celebrate and preserve lighthouses through education and entertainment. Their website is full of interesting information about lighthouses past and present.

The Society sponsors a Passport program featuring specially designed stamps for each lighthouse. Passport holders collect stamps from lighthouses around the country. Filling a passport entitles you to limited edition patches recognizing your achievement and dedication to lighthouse preservation. If you don't have a passport, you can get one at http://www.uslhs.org/store_merchandise.php.
