Lighthouse Construction

The Coast Guard has reinstalled the light at the lighthouse. Tom Renner and Ed Appleyard were at the lighthouse last night. Tom took these wonderful pictures of the light.

Tom got a chance to go out on the Michigan Maritime Museum’s famous CG rescue-boat. Here’s some shots of the newly restored lighthouse from the water.

Lighthouse Unveiling Friday, Oct. 7th at 9:30 am

Posted: October 6, 2016Filed Under: Lighthouse Construction

The Historical Association of South Haven (HASH) is pleased to announce the completion of the exterior phase of the South Haven Lighthouse Restoration Project.

160909lighthousetopping0006

An “unveiling” of the century-old structure on South Haven’s south pier entrance from Lake Michigan is scheduled to occur FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7 at 9:30 a.m.

The lighthouse has been surrounded by scaffolding and shrouded in plastic since early September while workers removed an estimated 10 coats of paint, made repairs and re-painted it with approximately 52 gallons of its signature red paint.

The interior restoration was completed this past spring.

The $300,000 restoration project was made possible from contributions to a community-wide “Save The Light” initiative sponsored by the Historical Association of South Haven. The project was also supported by a $60,000 grant from the Michigan Lighthouse Assistance Program.

The restoration work was done by Mihm Enterprises of Hamilton, Mich.

A formal re-dedication of the lighthouse will be held next Spring.
