She and her Friends urge you to come for a visit, and see for yourselves her new "old" look. After significant work, she sports some historically correct features: a new shingled roof, all new windows and doors, and a new paint job reflecting the original color scheme last seen in the 1940's. Even if you can't make it for a tour or for gift shopping during our hours of operation, many visit our beautiful beach from which you can still enjoy spectacular views of the Lighthouse, the stars, the sunset, the Manitou Islands, and more. The mission of the Friends of Point Betsie Lighthouse, Inc. is to support Benzie County in the restoration and maintenance of the Point Betsie Lighthouse facility through advocacy, fundraising and volunteers. Our goal is to promote related educational opportunities for the benefit of all, while maintaining the historical and environmental integrity of the site.   Lower Michigan, USA Click on map above to go to Maps page • Order Great Point Betsie Goods! • Peggy Hawley's special Point Betise Light Station Sesquicentennial Poster (Autographed by the artist.)
