Time and the harsh tropic marine environment have taken their toll on the historic Kilauea Lighthouse.

The Kilauea Point Natural History Association (KPNHA), a nonprofit organization, has recently kicked off the public portion of the capital campaign to restore the Kilauea Lighthouse entitled Beacon for the Generations to Come, Ka Lama Kuhikuhi No Na Hanauna.

There is an urgent need to begin the next major phase of the restoration. This will involve repairing the unique cast iron roof and lantern assembly, stabilizing the fragile lens, and repairing the concrete tower.
