FILPS

The Fire Island Lighthouse Preservation Society (FILPS) was formed in 1982 in response to the possible demolition of the Fire Island Lighthouse. Through grassroots efforts by private citizens, over $1.3 million was raised to save and restore the Lighthouse. Operations of the light, tower, and surrounding buildings have since been turned over to FILPS, who now maintain the Lighthouse, archive its history, improve displays, expand programs, and make your visit as enjoyable as possible.
