The Friends of
Light's Fort
- dedicated to the restoration of the 18th century house constructed around 1742 by immigrant Johannes Licht and later used for protection against the Native Americans.  Located at 11th and Maple Streets in Lebanon city, the old fort is built from gray stone indigenous to the area and in a traditional style of the early Pennsylvania Germans.  Other interesting features of the building include a vaulted, arched ceiling in the cellar, a fresh water spring running through the cellar, and a hip roof.

Johannes Licht, now known as John Light, was one of the earliest settlers of Lebanon. As his family grew, so did his prominence in Lebanon County. His descendants have made the Light name common in Lebanon County, and they can be attributed with much of its growth and progress both spiritually and economically.
