Lakeshore Keepers Membership
Our non-profit organization is made up of approximately 760 members hailing from across the country. Our mission is to preserve, promote, educate the public, and make our lighthouses accessible to all. Many members join simply from a desire to support our mission, but others join because of their desire to be volunteer lighthouse keepers at one of our beautiful lighthouses: Big Sable Point, Little Sable Point, Ludington North Breakwater Light, White River Light Station and Museum, and Manistee North Pierhead Lighthouse.
In May of 2018, our organization was presented the State of Michigan Governor's award for Historic Preservation of the four lighthouses under our care at that time. We hope that you will consider becoming a member and joining our award-winning organization, as Lakeshore Keepers strives to meet our mission to preserve five of Michigan’s iconic 129 lighthouses.
How much of your fees are considered tax-deductible? 60% of your membership fee is tax-deductible. None of your Resident Keeper Fee is tax-deductible, as this fee helps pay costs you incur when you are a keeper.
