Leadership and staff roles include an Executive Director, Education Manager, Historian & Collections Manager, Marketing & Communications Manager, Development staff, Maintenance Chief, Volunteer Coordinator, and other support positions, along with a board that includes a Chair, Vice Chair, Secretary, Treasurer, and additional members. The operation is described as award-winning, is sponsored in part by the State of Florida Department of State Division of Arts and Culture, the Florida Council on Arts and Culture, and the National Endowment for the Arts, and is described as a rich educational beacon for the state. The Loxahatchee River Historical Society collaborates with partner organizations and government entities and holds memberships in multiple museum, history, conservation, tourism, and cultural associations. Children must be at least 48 inches tall to climb the Lighthouse, and hours are subject to change with tours described as weather permitting.
