Event Details

When you think of lighthouses, do you think of the East or West coast? Did you know that Michigan, which has more freshwater coastline than any other state, also has the most lighthouses (over 120)?  This Illustrated lecture focuses on the Lighthouses of Michigan (Lake Michigan). These lights have guided ships to safe harbors for more than a century and a half. Join Laura Keyes as she shares their history, their beauty, and their surprising stories. Mrs. Keyes will be delighting audiences with her presentation on Zoom on Monday, June 13, 2022 at 7:00 p.m.

Laura Keyes graduated from UW-Madison with a Master’s Degree in Library Studies and has been presenting on historic topics for over ten years. She enjoys researching literary symbolism and is contracted to write a book on that subject. In her non-existent spare time, Laura is a wonderful baker and accomplished vocalist.
