The May meeting of the White Lake Area Historical Society will take place Thursday, May 16 at 7 p.m. and will feature a presentation by Jack Greve, contact person for Sable Points Lighthouse Keepers Association. Jack will share unique features and history of the majestic lights which have guided ships along Lake Michigan’s shoreline for more than 100 years.
In addition, a brief look at the rigorous and ceaseless tasks of maintaining the lights will deepen appreciation for the 47 years of care given by Capt. Wm. Robinson, who served the White River Light Station until 1919.
Closing the meeting is a visit with an area couple who spend one month each summer as modern-day lighthouse keepers/tour guides.
For questions regarding the meeting, please call 231-893-5545.
