    September 6, 2025

    The Grand Traverse Lighthouse has been restored and staged to reflect life as a lighthouse keeper during the 1920’s and 1930’s. Built in 1858 at the tip of the Leelanau Peninsula, which separates Lake Michigan and Grand Traverse Bay, it marks the Manitou passage, where Lake Michigan elides into Grand Traverse Bay.
