Lighthouse Passport

The United States Merchant Marine Museum participates with The Lighthouse Society Passport Club Program featuring the Stepping Stone Lighthouse, to help preserve lighthouses as well as a wonderful way to keep a pictorial history of their lighthouse adventures.

If you are unable to make it to the museum, you may send us a self-addressed stamped envelope (S.A.S.E) with a request for stamps. (Please do not send any donations, as we are unable to accept them)
