Be A Lighthouse Friend

Show your support of your local lighthouse by joining Friends of Pomham Rocks Lighthouse. East Providence residents are fortunate to have an historical light station in their city. For 150 years, Pomham Rocks Lighthouse has protected the waters off the coast of Riverside. When it fell into disrepair, a group of volunteers formed the Friends of Pomham Rocks Lighthouse to restore and preserve this important landmark. Since 2004, hands-on work by volunteers and financial support from the community have helped to restore the exterior of the light station to its original state and the interior into an outstanding museum that shares the history of Pomham Rocks and the other four lighthouses that once served East Providence.

You can help continue these efforts by becoming a member of Friends of Pomham Rocks Lighthouse. Members are welcome to help at events, maintain our boats, join work parties or guide our tours as docents. Members receive Pomham Glow newsletter, to keep informed of programs and activities, a discounted rate on boat trips to The Lighthouse and an invitation to members-only events.

For just $30, you can join as a Lighthouse Keeper (individual); for $50, Keeper Family (those who live in the same household); or $75 Lampist. Provide additional support at select levels: $100 for Lighthouse Inspector, $250 for Lighthouse Superintendent or $500 for Commissioner of Lighthouse Service. Corporate memberships are also available at $250. Memberships are renewable annually. The membership year is from January 1 to December 31.
