Sadly, on March 11, 2025, the iconic Pink House was demolished. After valiant efforts to save it, many members of our community were devastated by the US Fish and Wildlife Service’s (FWS) decision to tear down this local landmark. The Pink House, built in 1925, stood for 100 years as a welcome sign to all those heading to Plum Island. It shall always be an important part of our local history. The legacy of the Pink House will live on and its story will always be remembered! You can read about the grass roots efforts to save the structure and its history at Support The Pink House (here on the blog, and throughout the website). A group of local supporters have organized The Pink House 100th Celebration, which will be open to the public on Saturday June 14, 2025 from 9 am - 4 pm.

Many local artists, who continue to be inspired by The Pink House, have accepted invitations to participate as vendors and will be offering many special items for sale. All are welcome to attend! Support The Pink House, Inc. will be represented at this event offering some of the finest Pink House creations for sale. There will also be a Pink House cake cutting ceremony around 3 pm including "special guests".
