The Twin Lights site has a small staff of state employees. To "keep the lights on," the Friends of Twin Lights volunteers help whenever and wherever we can. The Twin Lights have been supported by this organization for more than a half-century.
Volunteers are an integral part of daily operations of the Twin Lights. Often they are the first to meet and greet visitors. They educate, inform and organize-working in the Museum, Gift Shop and elsewhere on-site. Their contributions enhance the experience for more than 80,000 visitors a year and help the Twin Lights Museum achieve its goals.
