SCHEDULING SPECIAL EVENTS

Personal events such as weddings, memorial services and baptisms have taken place on the beach at Point Betsie through the years. Since the light station came under Benzie County ownership with operation by the lighthouse’s Friends group, an increasing number of these events have been held within the grounds despite the limited availability of facilities such as indoor space and electricity, and the lack of running water. The expected completion of the lighthouse’s rehabilitation in the spring of 2010, and the already finished restoration of the fog signal building, are expected to enhance the availability of facilities and services within Point Betsie’s buildings and grounds for small group activities, especially during the summer and shoulder seasons.

For further information, or to schedule an event or group tour, please contact Diane Brutzer at 231-352-6706 (May through November) or 941-426-8169 (December through April), or
email her.
