Lighthouse tours
On tour days, volunteers check guests in at the dock, hand out wristbands, help everyone aboard the boat and look after visitors on the station grounds.
About our tours →Volunteer
We're an all-volunteer organization. Share a few hours a week, or once a month, and help keep the light shining.

The Hillsboro Lighthouse Preservation Society has always been an all-volunteer group. Our volunteers run the lighthouse tours, staff the museum and gift shop, put on the Gala and roll up their sleeves for projects on the station grounds. Every dollar we raise goes to supporting, restoring and maintaining the lighthouse.
Join our great group of people who love the historic Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse and want to keep it lit for generations to come.
