About The Loxahatchee River Historical Society
In June of 1973, the newly formed Loxahatchee River
Historical Society opened the first Lighthouse Museum in
the 1860 Oil House adjacent to the lighthouse. For nearly
20 years the society conducted infrequent public tours
by permission of the Coast Guard. In 1994, the society
signed a long-term lease with the Coast Guard to restore
1; Jamie Stuve, president and CEO, and Dr. Robin Sykes, the lighthouse and to conduct tours on a regular basis.
both with the Loxahatchee River Historical Society The lighthouse and oil house were restored in 2000 and
the society continues as the civilian “keepers” of the light
and our local history through the present day.
On Pearl Harbor Day, 2006, the society opened the
make a leap towards truly sustaining our heritage for future Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse & Museum in the restored WWII
Navy Married Men’s Housing building. The society then
spearheaded efforts to obtain permanent protection of the
lighthouse and surrounding 120 acres of sensitive habitat
as an Outstanding Natural Area (ONA) in the National
Conservation Lands. Unfamiliar in the eastern United
States, these special conservation lands are a vital part
of the U.S. Department of Interior and managed by the
Bureau of Land Management. The congressional bill was
signed by President George W. Bush on May 8, 2008, and
gave the Jupiter Light the national recognition it deserves,
as one of only three Outstanding Natural Areas in the
nation. The society was named as a managing partner, an
unusual honor for a nonprofit in public lands legislation.
Since 1994, the society has worked diligently with
federal and local partners at the ONA on behalf of the
public, transforming the lighthouse property into a
national heritage site that generates a $12 million annual
economic impact in our community. The Jupiter Inlet
Lighthouse & Museum has restored additional historic
buildings and native plant communities that showcase
indoor and exterior exhibits connected by interpreted
pathways. Local residents and visitors from around the
world can enjoy authentic experiences, educational
events and programs, docent-led tours, and self-guiding
tours in English, French, and Spanish, as well as the best
“selfie” spot in Palm Beach County.
The Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse has become a symbol
of home and the heart of history in our community. The
Loxahatchee River Historical Society is committed to the
ongoing preservation of our lighthouse and collecting
55 And Over! and sharing our area’s unique history with students,
residents, and visitors, providing a meaningful anchor for
our community and a gift we give to the next generation.
