The Michigan Lighthouse Alliance has rung in 2024
with a three-part webinar series!
You’re Unique!:
Developing Site Specific Programming
While every Michigan lighthouse shares common elements in their history, each light boasts its own unique history based on its time, place, and the people who lived and worked there. Learn how two lighthouses, Fort Gratiot Light and DeTour Reef Light, leveraged the history only their location can tell to engage visitors and connect them to the past.
Presented by Andrew Kercher & Lauren Nelson from Port Huron and Ann Method from DeTour Reef Light.
