In 2004, the United States Lighthouse Society and its Chesapeake Chapter entered in a public-private partnership with The City of Annapolis, the Annapolis Maritime Museum and Park, and Anne Arundel County to obtain ownership of Thomas Point Shoal Lighthouse. Under our partnership agreements, the City of Annapolis is the lighthouse owner; the United States Lighthouse Society and its Chesapeake Chapter are the lighthouse managers, leasing the structure from the City for all aspects of preservation and operations; the Annapolis Maritime Museum is the primary shore-based component, housing lighthouse exhibits and being the point of departure for public tours; and Anne Arundel County provides preservation and environmental expertise.
