Yesterday, our team had the opportunity to walk the pier and tour the iconic Grand Haven lighthouses, learning more about the history and significance of one of our community's most treasured landmarks. From the first lighthouse established in 1839 to the red lights that continue to guide ships today, these structures have been part of Grand Haven's story for generations.

At the Grand Haven Area Community Foundation, we're proud to support the preservation of these historic landmarks by hosting dedicated funds that help make restoration and long-term maintenance possible. Through the generosity of donors, these funds support efforts to protect and preserve the lighthouses for future generations to enjoy.

Experiencing the lighthouses up close was a wonderful reminder of the rich history, community pride, and sense of place that make the Grand Haven area so special. We're grateful to be part of the ongoing effort to preserve this important piece of our shared heritage. ❤️⚓

Interested in supporting the preservation of the lighthouses? Contributions can be made through the Community Foundation's dedicated lighthouse funds.
