Program Description

Event Details

They were women before their time, taking on the romantic, yet dangerous and physically demanding job of tending to the beacons that protected the shoreline. In all, some 40 women have been identified who excelled in this profession over the years — dating back as early as the 1840s and as recent as present day. Join author Dianna Stampfler for an in-depth look at the Great Lakes’ female lighthouse keepers.
