The Restoration Project: Survey the Damage
Time and the harsh tropic marine environment have taken their toll on the historic buildings. The result is a site now in critical condition.
Recognizing the local and national value of the light station, the current USFWS administration sought advice from the community on ways to restore and care for the Point's historic resources.
The not-for-profit organization association with the
refuge, the Kilauea Point Natural History Association, expanded it's mission to include historic
preservation and established a dedicated Kilauea Point
Historic Preservation Fund.
A community-based historic preservation committee was established to undertake the planning, fundraising, restoration, maintenance, and interpretation of the site (and more volunteers are needed!)
Preservation professionals assessed the condition of the resources and prepared a preservation and maintenance plan for the light station. In it, the national experts detail the considerable damage and deterioration and lay out a straightforward approach for preservation and continuing maintenance.
