The Restoration Project: Survey the Damage
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, is conducting the capital campaign to restore the Kilauea Lighthouse entitled Beacon for the Generations to Come, Ka Lama Kuhikuhi No Na Hanauna.
The first phase of the restoration work was completed in November 2008 when the anchor bolts securing the lantern room to the concrete tower were repaired and replaced. The next major phase of the restoration, which involves repairing the unique cast iron roof and lantern assembly, and stabilizing the fragile lens, is underway now. The final phase will entail repairs to the concrete tower, opening the closed vents and window openings, installing new windows, and removing the inappropriate exterior coating to return the tower to its original appearance.
