MLC to apply for the Muskegon lighthouses under the NLHPA
The Michigan Lighthouse Conservancy will be submitting an application under the National Lighthouse Preservation Act of 2000 for the Muskegon South Breakwater and Pierhead lighthouses. This process allows nonprofits to obtain the lighthouse for free through a competitive application process. We are filing our application this fall and feel we will be successful in obtaining these lights. These lights are in need of a lot of maintenance, which will require donations and fundraising.
All that remains of the lighthouse today are the individual towers as the keepers residence was torn down back in the early 1970's to make way for a new US Coast Guard station. Over the years the areas lighthouses, breakwaters and piers have changed quite a bit. We are working on our application and if you are interested in offering any services for these lights, please contact us.
