Nice story from the Detroit News on the efforts to renovate the Old Mackinac Point lighthouse.

Thanks for posting the story above, John. I found the info that Sue posted this morning when I was researching another light. My best wishes go to those who are near to the heart of this restoration.

Its about time! I have been visiting Old Mackinac Point for years and everytime I go I have seen a sign saying it would be restored, but I have never seen any work being done. It is a great lighthouse and I love the brickwork. I was always disappointed that the museum shop was closed. It is in a great location for lighthouse lovers and potential lighthouse lovers.

Maybe this might be a worthy cause for the next wacko pin project, If the tradition continues
