Lighthouses, Hot Chocolate & YOU! 2002 - 11/14/01 06:57 AM
Last year was the first year that NELL sponsored a tour of lighthouses in the middle of winter. It was called "Lighthouses, Hot Chocolate & YOU!" and was organized by Doug Bingham from the American Lighthouse Foundation (ALF).
We visited Scituate Lighthouse, toured the original granite lanternroom of Minot's Ledge lighthouse as well as the Irish Mossing & Marine Museum. The money raised went to the Scituate Historical Society toward the publishing of their lighthouse tour guide book, which raised more than double what the cost was to produce the book. The money raised from the book sales is helping to preserve the lighthouse for many generations to come.
It was such a success that we are planning the second annual winter event, "Lighthouses, Hot Chocolate & YOU! 2002". This time plans are being made for this event to take place in Rhode Island in late January 2002. It is being organized again by Doug Bingham (ALF/NELL) who does a super job.
Please, stay tuned for the upcoming announcement which will include all of the details you will need to be a part of this event.
Whoever said that you can't do lighthousing in winter?
