Historic Updates to Mission Point Lighthouse
Since Fall of 2016 we have been making changes to the south side of the lighthouse to fulfill a grant from SHPO. The exterior of the lighthouse now looks as it did in 1910. The small storage building moved to side of house, rear sidewalk installed, flowers planted around the house, new matching windows on the south side, new doors and new wood and wire fencing, shutters added and 1950's garage gone so replica barn can be built in it's place. When the lake water allows, a replica historic boat house will be added to the beach area for more volunteer and community benefits. 
Log Cabin Day is the 25th of June
Log Cabin Day is always the last Sunday in June. Log Cabin Day remembers a quieter and simpler era, when life was more rugged. A log cabin is a house built from logs. It is a fairly simple type of log house.
