OUR PARTNERS
THE MICHIGAN LIGHTHOUSE PROJECT
As a result of the U. S. Coast Guard's decision to release more than 70 historic lighthouses in the state of Michigan, numerous individuals representing federal and state agencies, federal and state legislators, and national and regional nonprofit organizations convened in Lansing in the spring of 1998 to address the need for preserving these treasured structures on behalf of the public. These governmental agencies and nonprofit organizations established the Michigan Lighthouse Project. In August of 1999, these same public and nonprofit entities signed a Memorandum of Agreement setting into motion the process of facilitating the transfer and helping with the preservation of Michigan's historic lighthouses for generations to come.
The Project is overseen by Martha MacFarlane-Faes, Project
Manager, who is employed by the Michigan State Historic Preservation Office. Contact
