SUMMARY:Bakers Island Light Station: Preservation and Perseverance
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we explore both the history and future of this iconic maritime landmark that has guided vessels through Salem Sound since 1791.\n\n\nJoin Essex Heritage and the Manchester-by-the-Sea Museum for a special presentation celebrating 10 years of public access to Bakers Island Light Station. This engaging evening will explore both the history and future of this iconic maritime landmark that has guided vessels through Salem Sound since 1791. \nAnnie Harris\, CEO of Essex Heritage will share the fascinating journey of Essex Heritage’s stewardship of the light station since acquiring the property from the U.S. Coast Guard in 2014. Learn about the challenges and triumphs of preserving this remote maritime treasure\, the educational programs developed\, and the significant restoration work completed over the past decade. \nWith over 31 years of experience in historic restoration and 20 lighthouse projects for the U.S. Coast Guard\, preservation mason Martin J. Nally will provide a fascinating look at the technical aspects of lighthouse preservation. \nThis summer\, Essex Heritage will undertake a critical masonry restoration project at the light station. The work will include repointing the interior brickwork of the 1820 lighthouse tower and restoring three historic brick chimneys on the keeper’s houses. This presentation offers a unique opportunity to learn about this specialized preservation work before it begins. \nThis free event is limited to 50 attendees. Advance registration is required. \n\n\nFor more information about visiting Bakers Island Light Station during the 2025 season\, please visit HERE \nFor questions about this event\, please contact: info@essexheritage.org or call 978-740-0444.
