Summary
In November 2021, the Beaver Island Historical Society mobilized support for a Charlevoix County discussion of the Beaver Head Lighthouse property and began fundraising for an Eastern Michigan University Historic Preservation Graduate Field School planned for summer 2022. The Society described the field school as an assessment and hands-on preservation effort conducted with Charlevoix County and Networks Northwest, with possible future public access including a keeper’s-house museum.
