the New Canal Lighthouse Museum and
education center

The New Canal Lighthouse Museum and Education Center will invigorate the renaissance of the entire Southshore Lakefront area for use by the public who reside in and visit the region. The New Canal Lighthouse Museum and Education Center will:

• Educate locals and visitors about the water quality and habitats of the Lake Pontchartrain Basin
• Educate locals and visitors about LPBF's Multiple Lines of Defense Strategy to address critical coastal issues
• Educate locals and visitors about the history of the lighthouse and lifesaving station
• Be an active aid to navigation by relighting the lighthouse beacon

The New Canal Lighthouse Museum and Education Center will provide space for museum displays, tours, a gift shop, educational programs for school children, small events, public rental, and will act as an active aid to navigation for mariners. There will be four rooms and an outdoor deck and dock. The landscaping will integrate learning opportunities about wetland plants and stormwater runoff reduction.

Anyone interested in reserving the Education Center for meetings or events, please contact JoAnn at (504)836-2238 or joann@saveourlake.org.
