Good Stewardship
Beacon Preservation has more than building restoration in mind. Our three-fold committment is to our national landmarks, the environments of the lighthouses, and to the surrounding communities. We were featured on The Today Show with Bob Dotson (fast-forward to 2:20 to see our work on Goose Rocks) and you can also read about us in the March 2009 issue of the "Connecticut Law Tribune" and the December 2007 issue of "Soundings."
