One woman had been there 70 years ago as a little girl. The Keeper on duty invited her family to join him in the tower as he filled the fuel tank with kerosene, the last year the lantern was fueled with kerosene. Visitors were not always allowed in the tower. Another visitor, currently a wheelsman on the Gott, mentioned the upgrades at the various lights around the lake this summer. His opinion is that new onboard technology will make most of the traditional navigation aids obsolete. There were several interesting visitors to the lighthouse yesterday, Sept 12.

Will you be lighting it again for the anniversary of the first lighting on July 31?
