Help Save the Morris Island Lighthouse

The Morris Island Lighthouse is located near the Charleston Harbor just off the coast of Folly Beach.

When it was built in 1876, the lighthouse stood three-fourths of a mile inland. It now stands in the Atlantic Ocean, leaning to one side and in danger of falling.

The good news is that many people love the lighthouse and are working hard to help protect it. Save The Light is a grassroots organization which has raised money to buy the lighthouse from its former owner and then given it to the state. The lighthouse is now owned by all the people of South Carolina.

Despite love and devotion, Save The Light has encountered obstacles at almost every turn, and the lighthouse remains in danger.

If you would like to learn more about the lighthouse, please visit Save The Light. You can also become a member, make a donation, buy lighthouse stamps, hats, t-shirts, and photos, or purchase renowned artist Jim Booth's newest painting, Carolina Legacy. Proceeds from all 400 prints in the Save The Light edition go directly towards the lighthouse's protection and preservation.
