Photo by D.J. Terras In 1989, the Lighthouse Park District established a permanent Lighthouse Preservation Fund. Through capital
campaigns, the Fund has been able to undertake development projects on the lighthouse and grounds using
non-operating income, separate from the District's tax generated operating budget. Through the Fund, work to
restore, preserve and interpret Grosse Point Lighthouse has been recognized with awards for superior
achievement from national and regional preservation, museum, and history organizations including:- The American Association for State and Local History
- American Institute of Architects – Illinois Council
- Cook County Board of Commissioners
- Evanston Preservation Commission
- Garden Club of America
- Illinois Association of Museums
