The United States Lighthouse Society is a non-profit historical and educational organization incorporated to educate, inform, and entertain those who are interested in lighthouses, past and present.

The Unites States Lighthouse Society sells Lighthouse Passports on their website which provide pages for official lighthouse stamps, verifying that you've visited a particular lighthouse.  Each participating lighthouse has only one official stamp, custom designed by the USLHS.  The Pentagoet Inn will soon be the official stamp location for Dyce Head Lighthouse here in Castine.  There are souvenirs available once you have completed a Passport booklet.  Please visit the USLHS site for full details on this program.

Additionally, with the help of our constituents, the United States Lighthouse Society has donated funds to important lighthouse restoration projects nationwide, and has successfully restored and opened to the public the historic Lightship WLV 605 (Relief). The combined cash total of unrestricted donations now approaches $1,000,000.00, an amount which emphasizes this organization's dedication to the preservation of our Nation's maritime heritage.
