We will have these America 250 Years mugs from Sunset Hill Stoneware for sale on our website and at the Visitor Center until we run out of them. If you want one, please order early, that way we can order more if needed before they are no longer available from Sunset Hill. Lead time to order and receive a new batch is about 8-10 weeks. To order online, visit the following link: https://crisppointlight.square.site/product/morning-rambler-12-oz-mug-by-shs-old-glory-america-250th-anniversary/HEPQJ3BPIBJJP6JPK6B5TS5G?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=true

It’s been a week!

We had several volunteers over the past week that have pitched in to help clean, make repairs, stock and organize the visitors center with the goal to get us ready for opening day. We can’t thank everybody enough! With that being said, we will be open starting tomorrow (5/23) at 10am.

Our daily hours of operation will be from 10am to 6pm.

Good evening everyone. We have good news and disappointing news today. County Rd 500 is back open to traffic, however, County Rd 412 to the lighthouse is still drifted closed with snow. Therefore, we are postponing our Adopt a Highway cleanup on M-123 to May 16 and Opening Day for the lighthouse to a tentative date of May 23. The amount of snow and cold temperatures did not allow for the snow to be clear for us to get to the lighthouse this year when we wanted to get out there. That is always a possibility each year and is why we always say the opening day is tentative or approximate. We will update again in the near future if we have to postpone anything further out. Sorry for the bad news!
