EAST TAWAS- Come join the fun to celebrate YOUR local lighthouse with the Friends
of Tawas Point Lighthouse and State Park, and the Michigan History Center team, Monday, August 7.
From 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. Join with friends under the shaded canopy tents to learn about National Lighthouse Day commemorating the anniversary of the federal lighthouse establishment in 1789. This is a day to celebrate lighthouses and commitment and service of those who tended America’s lights.
Come as you are and enjoy a fun, open house style walk around event. Our visitors and Girl Scouts working ontheir lighthouse badges will enjoy the day learning about Tawas Point Lighthouse and other Michigan lighthouses, picking up a lighthouse location map, learning lighthouse terminology, and about Michigan women lighthouse keepers.
Visit the new restaurant, “Thyme At The Point”, near the festivities for some tasty
and unique meals and snacks to re-energize you and see the best view of Lake Huron from their canopied deck!
How about trying our Brick Paver Pathway Scavenger Hunt? Or challenge your family and friends at the free cornhole bag tossing area nearby. These interactive opportunities brought to you by volunteer efforts of Friends of Tawas Point Lighthouse
and State Park.
This event is planned rain or shine; however, if there is weather that would make utilizing tents impractical, some events may be held in the State Park Day Use Beach Pavilion just across the parking lot by the beach.
