If you’ve ever been to Kauai, chances are you’ve been to the Kilauea Lighthouse.  If you live on Kauai, this beacon is no stranger to you.  Unfortunately the lighthouse has been deteriorating and they have been doing a grass roots campaign to try to raise money to help get this landmark the care it so desperately needs.

According to the website, “The historic light station consists of a concrete lighthouse, three field stone keepers’ quarters, a fuel oil shed, cisterns, and a supply landing platform. It is one of the nations most intact historic light stations.

Even in the early years, travelers came to enjoy the area’s scenic beauty and to explore the magnificent light. Today Kilauea Point is one of Kauai‘i’s most visited sites with more than 500,00 visitors a year.”

If you would like to help raise money to restore this beautiful lighthouse to its former glory, click here to donate online.
