Sturgeon Point Lighthouse


September 21, 2006
Continueing our drive through the Huron national Forest we came to the Foote Dam and walked around a bit. Harrisville State Park is nestled within a stately stand of pines and cedars along the sandy shores of Lake Huron. We drove around the park established in 1921, then we drove into Harrisville for lunch at the marina.





A short way up the road was the Sturgeon Point Lighthouse. It was closed, but we walked around the grounds. The old Bailey Schoolhouse from 1907-1941 caught Kathy’s attention. It stands as it did then with the desks and chalkboard still there. The lighthouse still operates the light for the lake boaters and ships. We walked out on the sandy spit and found a dead seagull, poor thing. The wind blew and the waves moved across the water. We decided to spend the night
