Mission: This Foundation, in conjunction with the United States Air Force 45th Space Wing, is on the precipice of opening this historical site up for the general public and restoring the surrounding grounds to what they once were. The Wing Commander has worked closely with the Foundation and, on behalf of the Air Force, has agreed to the following: · Reconstruction of the three Keepers Cottages. - The first will be an Air Force Conference Center. - The second will house a museum and educational center focusing on the early settlers and Pioneers on the Cape and to educate children on the rich history of the Lighthouse and the Cape. - The third will house an archeological section and the Store, more commonly known as the “Keepers Closet”. There is much history to be told about the Native Americans dating back for centuries. · Move the Keepers Closet (Gift Shop) from the Cape Cafeteria to Hangar C, next to the Lighthouse. · Air Force will build a foot bridge over the gully between the lighthouse and Hangar C. · Landscaping, including installation of Picnic Tables and Benches.
