Guardians Across America

Join the Barrier Island Parks Society and the Florida Lighthouse Association as we celebrate America’s 250th Birthday during this special Guardians Across America event at the historic Port Boca Grande Lighthouse & Museum!

We invite you to commemorate 250 years of American history while honoring the iconic lighthouses that have safeguarded our shores and guided countless mariners through the years.

Visitors will have the opportunity to explore the museum, learn about Florida’s rich maritime heritage, and celebrate alongside fellow history and lighthouse enthusiasts. Complimentary refreshments and a special commemorative souvenir will be available while supplies last.

Whether you’re a longtime lighthouse lover, a history buff, or simply looking for a unique way to celebrate America’s 250th, this family-friendly event is one you won’t want to miss.

Come celebrate our nation’s history, Florida’s lighthouse heritage, and the enduring spirit of America’s guardians of the coast. We look forward to welcoming you!
