Men & Women of Oregon's Light Stations

Keeper Peirce    Guardsman

Hundreds of men (and a few women) served throughout the history of Oregon's Light Stations.  Through these pages we hope to learn more about the light keepers who served under the auspices of the United States Lighthouse Service and the United States Coast Guard

Our List of Keepers grows almost daily.  As time permits, we will also verify those who can be found in US Census records. Documentation of early keepers will give us a better idea of where they came from, and the length of time the spent in the Lighthouse Service.  It is our intent, that these pages will be a service to families of lighthouse keepers trying to piece together their family histories.

If you would like to add information about an Oregon Keeper, please feel free to contact us through the link above. We have spent a lot of time this winter (2006-2007) researching and hope to have lots of information about keepers posted this summer.
