The Carrabelle Lighthouse Association has been awarded a $1,000 Emergency Relief grant from the United States Lighthouse Society to help cover expenses.
The Crooked River Lighthouse is one of 35 lighthouses in the nation and only 4 in Florida to receive the grant which provides financial assistance for operational expenses for lighthouses due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The museum’s revenue and attendance were significantly impacted last year by the pandemic.
The lighthouse in Port St. Joe also received the grant funding.
Steve Allen, Board President for the Carrabelle Lighthouse Association said they are very grateful for the money which will help them continue to share the historic treasure with our community and the
public.
The United States Lighthouse Society is a nonprofit historical and educational organization
dedicated to saving and sharing the maritime legacy of American lighthouses and supporting
lighthouse preservation throughout the nation.
