The historic 1840 Port Burwell Lighthouse is structurally compromised and the Municipality of Bayham will not designate funding for the required restoration until their 2025 budget, if then.

The restoration and conservation of this iconic structure needs to be addressed immediately before it collapses in on itself. On February 1st, the Municipal Council finally decided to engage the Municipality's Museum Advisory Committee as part of the review process and to provide recommendations on options presented under CAO-03/24 "Port Burwell Lighthouse Status and Costing Update"
The Port Burwell Historical Society is committed to saving our lighthouse.
