The Montauk Historical Society is the nonprofit organization that owns the Montauk Point Lighthouse. It costs over $1.5 million a year to run the lighthouse and museum. Special events are an essential way to fund programming and maintenance.
An extensive restoration of the tower and the exterior of the museum was completed in summer 2023 after over five years of work and planning, and at a cost of $1.8 million. It was funded by grants, donations and admission fees.
A $38 million revetment, led by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and New York State’s Department of Environmental Control, was completed that same year, and will safeguard the lighthouse for future generations. The mission of the Montauk Historical Society is to collect, restore, preserve, and display historically significant buildings, objects, and writings, and to preserve the history and cultures of Montauk and the East End for this and future generations.
“Kevin Hart: Acting My Age” is presented by Brooklyn-based events company Murmrr. The show is rain or shine. For tickets, visit murmrr.com.
