The thing that really stands out about the Eagle Harbor Lighthouse in the Keweenaw Peninsula is its rocky shore line. most of the other lighthouses I have been to in Michigan are along a sandy shoreline. I was visiting it with my family and the volunteers talking to visitors are wonderful people. they told my
I was in Vassar and it is such a nice little town, it was sad to see all the empty buildings. I don’t get the same feeling walking into Walmart and those big chain stores like I do going to a small family owned business.
