From Pure Michigan’s travel tips to firsthand stories from lighthouse caretakers and maritime experts, this four-part episode is a beacon for anyone ready to explore the Great Lakes State's rich nautical history.
Segment 1: Pure Michigan’s Kelly Wolgamott joins John and Amy to discuss the significance of Michigan’s 130+ lighthouses, more than any other state. She shares how these historic beacons are not only scenic and family-friendly travel destinations—but also serve as immersive educational opportunities. Plus, hear what’s coming this fall for Michigan tourism, and why lighthouse hopping is a must-do summer (and fall!) activity.
Segment 2: Built in 1829, Fort Gratiot Light Station in Port Huron is Michigan’s Oldest Lighthouse. Site Manager Lauren Nelson and St. Clair County Parks Director Dennis Delor Jr. share stories from this majestic lighthouse’s past, its ongoing restoration, and the exciting annual Sandfest that helps fund its preservation. Don’t miss the fascinating details about the nearby Huron Lightship and what makes this destination a cornerstone of Michigan’s maritime legacy.
Segment 3: Discovering Tawas Point Lighthouse and State Park: Next, we journey to Tawas Point on Lake Huron—often called the “Cape Cod of the Midwest.” Explore the 1876 lighthouse with sweeping views, stroll the sandy beaches, and hear why this stop is beloved by birdwatchers, hikers, and history lovers alike. Whether you're climbing the spiral staircase or enjoying a sunset over the bay, Tawas Point is a must-visit on your lighthouse adventure. Historian Don La Barre of the Michigan History Center fill us in on all the details.
Segment 4: Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum at Whitefish Point: Up in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, John and Amy take you to the legendary Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum at Whitefish Point. Learn about the many vessels lost to Lake Superior’s depths, including the Edmund Fitzgerald. Hear about the scenic journey up the Curly Lewis Highway, the annual memorial event on November 10, and how this museum keeps the stories of Great Lakes sailors alive. We thank Bruce E. Lynn, Executive Director of the Great Lake Shipwreck Historical Society for joining the sbow.
Whether you’re a lighthouse enthusiast, Michigan road-tripper, or maritime history buff, this episode is packed with travel ideas, hidden gems, and unforgettable stories to guide your next Great Lakes getaway.
