We have permission from Charlevoix County and Networks Northwest for the Island Community to pick up where we left off last fall by continuing to repair and paint the exterior of the South End Lighthouse. Please bring brushes. And general cleanup is needed around the yard if anyone wants to bring rakes.
Everyone will be meeting at the Light on Sunday, September 13th from 11:00 a.m til 2:00 p.m. In case of rain it will be rescheduled for the 20th. If you're unable to attend but would like to send a donation. send to:
BIHS-Lighthouse
26275 Main St.
Beaver Island, MI 49782

Any questions call Dick McEvoy at 734-seven seven seven-7391.

Does the lighthouse belong to anybody or is it property of the island. I know sometime ago it belonged to a relative of mine.

"After being leased to four individuals and having served as a hunting lodge for a time, the decommissioned lighthouse was declared surplus property in December 1972."
