Bullets, graffiti hinder restoration work on historic Michigan lighthouse
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — A northern Michigan group is working to restore a historic lighthouse. Now, they're not only fighting Mother Nature and Father Time, but an alleged vandal, as well. Erin Griebe, the chairperson of the , says volunteers first noticed bullet holes in the lamp room last fall. 'That's very expensive glass to replace. It's all custom because this is a very old historic building, and once the integrity of the glass is disrupted with bullet holes, you have to make those repairs,' Griebe . Volunteers made those repairs but noticed new ones a few weeks ago. Frankfort Police Chief Mark Ketz said it's clear this is not an 'isolated incident.' Nitrous oxide abuse up more than 500% in Michigan 'You've got these volunteers that are out here donating their own time to help protect this piece of history, and this damage is hindering that process,' Ketz told UpNorthLive. In addition to the bullet holes, the lighthouse has long been a target of graffiti. 'It's just years and years of build up and paint and, you know, if we're going to spend all this money, donated money to entirely clean this down to the bare metal and then restore it to pristine condition, is this just going to happen again?' Ketz said. The restoration project was estimated to cost $1.1 million in 2022. Griebe already knows the costs will surpass that estimate and wants to avoid any other unnecessary work. Suspect arrested after MSP K-9 follows track for 5 miles 'We are hopeful that by raising awareness, people will become less likely to tag the lighthouse, and for the individuals taking shots at it will also think twice now that the community at large is more aware,' she told News 8. The , on the north breakwater of the city's harbor, was built in 1912 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
