  • A lot of history and good maritime artifacts. You can climb to the top of the light house also. The docent was very knowledgeable and a good storyteller.

  • Such a great place with so much history about the ships traveling on lake Michigan. We were greeted by docent and caretaker. He asked us to look around and ask questions if we had any. He later met us and told us some interesting stories about ship history. The best one was about the USS Wisconsin. This is a must do. Highly recommend.
  • We had the opportunity to visit this very interesting museum on 9/8. Docent / Caretaker Ron was extremely knowledgeable regarding lighthouses and ships all around the Great Lakes. Climbing to the top of the tower added perspective on the important work performed by caretakers long before gps existed. Informational displays in the house itself were well done. The admission is no charge (with a contribution appreciated). There is a charge of $10 to climb the tower.
