Author	Topic: Lighthouses Where You Can Work?
JChidester Saint Posts: 3776 From: Sonoran Desert Registered:	posted 04-19-2001 02:16 PM Got this request by email: If you know of such a lighthouse, please reply directly to the lady: quote: I am writing an article about lighthouses where individuals can volunteer to become a keeper (like at Rose Island Lighthouse where you can be "Keeper of the Week"). Do you know any other lighthouses in the U.S. that offer this possibility? Thanks, Ann Waigand The Educated Traveler edtrav@aol.com [This message has been edited by JChidester (edited 04-19-2001).]

Here is their website. http://www.seguinisland.org/seguin_main1.htm (Forwarded to Ann Waigand) [This message has been edited by mombo (edited 04-19-2001).]

TD WACKO Posts: 114 From: MN Registered: Aug 2000	posted 04-19-2001 11:03 PM The Apostle Islands in Wisconsin have at least two LH's that you can volunteer. I know for sure Sand Island has volunteers because when I was there a teacher from Kansas City was working for the summer.

Dave H Cruise Director Posts: 1304 From: Kokomo, IN Registered: Jan 99	posted 04-19-2001 11:25 PM Big Sable Light in Ludington, MI has volunteer keepers during the summer months. I believe you have to be a member of their group and go through an interview process. Dave

Guests become assistant keepers and help to maintain the station.
