About the Presenter:
Laurie Perkins is the Site Historian for the Tawas Point Lighthouse, the Mann House in Concord and Walker Tavern Historic Site near Brooklyn. She has worked for the Michigan History Center for 33 years. Laurie lives in a restored 1880 farmhouse near Grand Ledge with her husband Eric.
Michigan’s thousands of miles of coastline where once protected by more than one hundred lighthouses.
