Traveled out to Crisp Point two years ago this Fall, on our way to visiting all the Lighthouses in MI. We are volunteer keepers at Big Sable, Little Sable, and North Breakwater Lights in Ludington,MI, when we are not working at our paying jobs. We felt it was important to see Crisp Point, as it was my Uncles last assigned Lighthouse before he retired.
There is a lot to be said for the Light Keepers that stayed out there and endured the harsh winters and hot summers, along with all the tasks that had to be done. My conviction is that the USCG has done a great disservice by ignoring the "Great Lights" of the Lakes. Millions of dollars of fine lenses and brass frames were lost due to the lack of concern for what they owned.
Shine on Crisp Point, we love you! Thank you Crisp Point volunteers, and Luce County for saving and protecting our light!
