Event Navigation
WHEN: Wednesday, March 19th at 6pm, doors open at 5:30pm
WHERE: Great Lakes Maritime Heritage Center, 500 W. Fletcher Street, Alpena, MI

HOW: No RSVP or payment required
For nearly 30 years, Dianna Stampfler – an author, freelance writer, and armchair historian – has been researching lighthouses around her home state of Michigan.
During that time, she’s been drawn to the stories of the dozens of women who served as keepers of these majestic beacons. As government employees, these women worked alongside men and were well respected within the industry. While keeping the lights burning, many also were wives and mothers, leaving a bright legacy in their wake.
