Welcome!

Restoration and Education We have restored several historic properties throughout New England, including the 1865 Greek Neoclassical former Savings Bank of Ansonia building (our corporate headquarters in Connecticut) and Goose Rocks Lighthouse in the Fox Island Thorofare of North Haven, Maine.  Our latest acquisition, the Penfield Reef Light off of Bridgeport, Connecticut, is the place-based learning site of Beacon's new Green Light Academy, a high school-level sustainable energy educational program we launched in 2009.   Breaking News... Beacon's Green Light Academy began in 2009 and for the past two years, has dramatically changed the lives of more than 100 high school students who attended GLA at  Western Connecticut State University.  Funding has been drastically cut so the students still need your support ... please consider making an online donation today!  Community Involvement In June 2008, Lowes Home Improvement granted our current wish list for Goose Rocks with $10,000 worth of equipment and building materials.  See our Photo Gallery. We also enjoy close ties with area schools and universities with whom we collaborate on education and research. 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."   Corporate Headquarters 117 Main Street, Ansonia, CT 06401 phone: 203.736.9300 ext.398 fax: 203.736.2300 info@beaconpreservation.org Maine Office 179 Main Street, North Haven, ME 04853 phone: 207.867.4747 All pages Copyright ©2011 Beacon Preservation, Inc.
