We'll Leave the Light On

The state of Michigan has one of the most proactive lighthouse programs in the nation; they also have the most lighthouses, 124.

They have been selling lighthouse license plates and the White Shoals Lighthouse has raised $215,000. Altogether, about a million dollars has been raised.

Under the National Historical Preservation Act of 2000, 70 of Michigan's lighthouses were to be given away by the Coast Guard.

The Lighthouse News is the place to go if you're into these structures.
