The Lake Pontchartrain Basin Foundation is still raising money to rebuild the New Canal Basin Lighthouse into a Museum & Educational Center on the shores of Lake Pontchartrain. Thanks to the public's support in online voting, the lighthouse won Jeld-Wen's competition for free windows and doors. However, they're still looking for funding for the rest of the building, and are over halfway there!
Check out the fly-around video below:
