Friends of Yaquina Lighthouses was first formed in 1988 to support the Yaquina Bay Lighthouse, and was expanded in 1996 to include Newport’s second lighthouse, Yaquina Head. Our mission is to aid in the preservation of Newport’s lighthouses, and to enhance the interpretive programming for both the lighthouses and their surrounding areas. We are governed by an all-volunteer Board of Directors, and raise funds through a combination of memberships, donations, community events, and the operation of the Interpretive Store located at the Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area’s Visitor Center.
