The Trinidad Civic Club and the Cher-Ae Heights Indian Community of the Trinidad Rancheria celebrated the completion of the Trinidad Memorial Lighthouse project with a formal dedication on October 12, 2025.
The historic event began with a symbolic tolling of the Memorial Lighthouse Bell at noon. Speakers representing the Trinidad Rancheria and the Trinidad Civic Club paid tribute to their partnership, and honored the tremendous support of the community, businesses and individuals.
The event brought to a successful conclusion this project which began in 2017 when geological instability required that the Memorial Lighthouse leave its former location and find a new home. Trinidad Civic Club thanks all those donors, volunteers and supporters who have helped bring to life this beautiful memorial site.
Coastal erosion made it necessary to relocate the Lighthouse. The Cher-ae Heights Indian Community of the Trinidad Rancheria came to the Trinidad Civic Club’s rescue when they offered a temporary location at the harbor.
