Michigan, with more lighthouses than any other state, preserves these beacons through the "Save Our Lights" license plate program. This year, $106K in grants supports the restoration of the 1867 Gull Rock and 1948 Charlevoix South Pier lighthouses, keeping maritime history alive.

Pics from our recent site visit to the #GrandHaven South Pier Inner Light! Rehabilitation work will soon begin to refinish and paint the exterior and interior and restore features of the lantern room. Work is funded in part by a MI #Lighthouse Assistance Program matching grant.
