Summary

National Lighthouse Day would designate August 7, 2026 as a national day to honor lighthouses, their keepers, and maritime heritage. It cites the 1789 Lighthouse Act anniversary and notes lighthouses' roles in trade and coastal community growth. The measure encourages opening lighthouse grounds to the public when feasible, calls for ceremonies and visits that support restoration and education, highlights threats from automation, erosion, neglect, and vandalism, and points to the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act process for transferring lighthouses to qualified stewardship groups.
