WOOD-TV shares that the Grand Haven Lighthouse is now open to the public for tours:
After many years of restoration work, the iconic 151-year-old lighthouse that sits at the end of the pier in Grand Haven opened to visitors Tuesday. Crowds passed through to get a look inside what’s known as the foghouse, which was abandoned and boarded up for years.
“I think it’s fabulous. I have volunteered in them before so I’m a big fan of lighthouses and I think it’s fun for people to have the opportunity to see what it was like then,” said visitor Jo Harding, who made the trip from Lansing to take a peek inside. “Too much of America, we tear things down. We don’t preserve them and I think it’s really nice and we actually preserve part of our history,” Harding said.
Amen to that Jo & good on the Grand Haven Lighthouse Conservancy & their donors for returning this historic beacon to the public! The lighthouse will be open (weather permitting) from 10am – 5pm on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays & Sundays.
Gary took this photo a decade ago so you’ll probably want to visit Grand Haven to compare ;) For sure head over to Gary Syrba Photography to view & purchase his work including some tasty shots of Grand Haven!
