The Beaver Island Historical Society is thrilled to receive a $5,000 grant from the Charlevoix County Community Foundation’s (C3F) Geographical Cycle to help our volunteers complete the vestibule project. We’re also sending a huge thank you to our anonymous donor's for another $6,000 to support other lighthouse repairs. Your support keeps our island’s history shining bright! 🌟⛵ #BeaverIsland #LighthouseLove #CommunitySupport #PreserveHistory"
Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked
A tall, cylindrical brick lighthouse tower with a green lantern room stands beside a two-story yellow-and-white house. The house has red roofs, chimneys, multiple windows, and a small covered entrance porch. The buildings sit on a grassy slope scattered with fallen leaves, with leafy tree branches framing the view.
A model wrote this. It was shown the image and the catalogue record together, and asked to keep them apart — what it saw is here, what the record told it is under "taken from the record" below. It is still wrong often enough to matter, about who is pictured, where, when, and what is happening. Read it as a way to find the image, never as evidence about it. If you can correct it, please do: write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com, or see how corrections work. Someone who recognises a face or a shoreline knows more than the model did.

Taken from the record
Not observed in the image — supplied by the archive's own catalogue, and repeated here so the two stay distinguishable.
The catalogue record identifies the image as a photograph posted by the Beaver Island Historical Society on November 11, 2025, and associates it with Beaver Head Lighthouse. The accompanying post discusses grants and donations for lighthouse repairs and a vestibule project.

Why this archive publishes it. Public Facebook groups and pages run by island organisations and residents. Each item credits the poster by name and links to the original post. Removal on request.
Material goes off the web without anyone deciding that it should: a host lapses, a gallery is retired, a link stops resolving. Holding a copy — with its provenance, its checksum and its holder's terms recorded beside it — is much of why this archive exists. If you are looking for something whose original has since gone, write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com and a full-size copy of what is held here will be sent to you.
Recorded verbatim from the provenance sidecar taken at retrieval — this archive does not restate a holder's terms in its own words, does not add a restriction the holder did not state, and does not abridge one.

The archive holds its own copy of that file and will supply it on request; it is not re-served here, because the holder serves it better and a second copy is a second thing to go stale.
