Thunder Bay Island Lighthouse Preservation Society A dedicated group of citizens working to restore Thunder Bay Island light station for a day use park. TBILPS works through Alpena Township.

TBILPS was formed in 1996 to begin the process of protecting and preserving not only the remaining structures on Thunder Bay Island, but the rich maritime history involving the island. The goal is to create a day use park for visitors to the region.

Mark your calendar to attend this National Lighthouse Day event. The flyer has a great overview of the lecture. Anyone purchasing a copy of Steve's book that evening can have the author sign it. Hope to see anyone who has been curious about Thunder Bay Island Light Station.

As we close out 2025, we want to thank those that worked to keep the island maintained and the Society functioning. Our hope in 2026 is to get more of those lingering projects completed, and create a lasting legacy for future generations. If you have not visited this special island, we hope to provide a video tour for those who aren't able to experience it in person. We wish everyone good health and prosperity in the coming new year.
