Our organization works to save Plum Island’s “Pink House” from demolition, refurbish the house, and support its role as an iconic landmark for generations to come.
In the fall of 2015, a small steering committee formed with the immediate goal of saving the Pink House from demolition, which was originally scheduled to take place in May of 2016. After regular communication with the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge, we were able to delay the demolition until the fall of 2017, buying time to solidify a plan. The committee is also in the process of forming a nonprofit 501(c)(3), creating a foundation to preserve and maintain the house.
Part of our process includes collaborating with local agencies and political representatives, and we continue to research historic preservation avenues, land swap options, and other possible solutions.
We are constantly increasing our community outreach through social media, art and window sticker sales, merchant networking, petition drives, and events. This has resulted in an immense amount of support for our goal of saving this cherished landmark. In addition to our goal of saving and maintaining the house, we have enjoyed promoting the many artists, photographers, and writers that have produced incredible works inspired by this landmark. It is our pleasure to showcase this talent and express our appreciation for their contributions to the effort.
After our incredibly successful week at the 2016 Yankee Homecoming Artisan’s Revival, we have built a solid volunteer base to help us pursue and implement the numerous initiatives we’ve taken on. With their help, and with yours, we are confident that we can be successful in this cause!
The extension for demolition buys some time, but time flies and there is much to do. We need your help! Please take 5 minutes to fill out our interest/volunteer survey, or write us at: info@savethepinkhouse.com.

Please remember: The Pink House is FEDERAL PRIVATE PROPERTY! Please enjoy without trespassing. Only through everyone's cooperation can we be successful in this cause. The Pink House and all of its supporters thank you!
