This is from the American Lighthouse Foundation website:
American Lighthouse Foundation & Maine Lighthouse Museum Formed one of the Largest Lighthouse Museums in the United States...
Sometimes joining forces to attain greater strength in numbers and access to more resources in conserving our nation’s rich lighthouse heritage simply makes the most sense.
Such was the case when the American Lighthouse Foundation (ALF) consolidated the artifact collection of the Museum of Lighthouse History, formerly of Wells, Maine, within the collections of the Maine Lighthouse Museum (MLM) in Rockland, Maine during spring 2007.
The consolidation was completed on April 19, 2007, with a fine representation of each collection placed on exhibit and opened to the general public for visitation two weeks later on May 5, 2007.
The consolidation of the ALF & MLM collections created one of the largest lighthouse museums in the United States, thanks to the efforts of the late Ken Black who founded the Maine Lighthouse Museum, and the American Lighthouse Foundation and its founding president Timothy Harrison, who spearheaded the creation of the former Museum of Lighthouse History.
