Because the existing walkway from the shore to the lighthouse tower is unserviceable, the Friends of the Doubling Point Light had to temporarily stop all public access to the lighthouse property. Now, your generous donations are urgently needed to help raise the $409,500.00 to fund the restoration project to build a new 130-foot-long walkway. We are well on our way to this goal and are in the home stretch of fundraising the necessary funds. 

Friends of the Doubling Point Light is thrilled to announce that we have received a very generous gift to support the walkway rebuilding project. Our “Guiding Light” partner will match all donations up to $50,000! Kindly consider sending a donation now, and your tax-deductible contribution will have twice the impact.

We are also delighted to share that we have signed a contract with historic restoration contractor, J. B. Leslie Company, from South Berwick, Maine. The project start date is on-or-about September 01, 2025. Fundraising and permitting are progressing well, but the success of this incredible “Guiding Light” Matching Grant is key toward reaching our revised budget need of $409,500.
