Preserving artifacts
The Michigan Lighthouse Conservancy is dedicated to the collecting and preserving artifacts used in the U.S. Lighthouse Service, U.S. Life Saving Service and early U.S. Coast Guard. We specialize in collecting the artifacts to preserve and restore them, we then turn them into interpretive displays for the public through various means such as loaning them out or using them in our own displays for the public. Artifacts like these can be seen under the Light Keeper’s Tools or under the Life Saver’s Tools sections of the web site.
