Lighthousefriends.com is the website of Kraig Anderson, an enthusiast who has visited every lighthouse in the United States—and nearly every lighthouse in Canada. The site includes photographs, directions, histories, and GPS coordinates that Anderson gathered on his visits. It is conveniently searchable by state, and the entries may be further filtered for such qualities as ease of access, onsite lodging, and reports of haunting.
