This past summer, after completing a $1.5 million dollar rehabilitation of Rhode Island’s Sakonnet Lighthouse, the Friends of Sakonnet Lighthouse (FOSL) spent another $24,000 washing, scraping, patching and spot painting the 1884 tower that stands on a rocky ledge surrounded by water.
The group’s unofficial photographer, Travis Snow, who proposed to his girlfriend at the lighthouse this past summer, shared with us some wonderful photos of the lighthouse that we are now sharing with you. Donations for the ongoing care of the lighthouse can be made by sending a check to FOSL, Box 154, Little Compton, RI 02837 or by visiting their web site at www.sakonnetlighthouse.org.
