Loxahatchee River Historical Society

The Society is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization formed in 1972 by local pioneer families, including John and Bessie DuBois, to preserve the “History Shaped by Nature” of the Loxahatchee River region. Governed by a Board of Directors and administered by the President & CEO and staff, the Society operates the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse & Museum where more than 3,500 guided tours are offered to 65,000 visitors annually.

We are stewards of the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse & Museum and a partner in the National Landscape Conservation System. Our mission is to preserve and interpret the dynamic heritage, ancient cultural history and sensitive natural systems of the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse Outstanding Natural Area and the Loxahatchee River region.
