Life Along Lake Superior's Isolated Shores!

There are all kinds of people, cultures, and opportunities for travelers to experience.  We visit museums in an attempt to gain an understanding of lumberjacks, learn more about a former U S President  or reserve a seat at table set in the fields to literally taste the farm to table transition; dining on vegetables we've picked and prepared.  Some young families are scheduling an opportunity to stay on a farm, feed the chickens, bake a blueberry pie, or pet a lamb; to step back in time so to speak and experience what others have done.

Crisp Point Lighthouse

Have you considered the life style of a lighthouse keeper?  Keeping the light clean and functional, scanning the horizon, and logging  the ships passing by?  Lighthouse keepers often lived on the lighthouse grounds in isolated regions of the country.  The Crisp Point Light Historical Society offers just such a Volunteer Keeper program.  Imagine staying on the remote, breathtaking grounds of the Crisp Point Light.  Overlooking the massive southern shoreline of Lake Superior.

You don't have to stay on the grounds to tend to your responsibilities; all of which are clearly outlined on their website  but working on the grounds, greeting site visitors, and sharing the Crisp Point Light story would be an incredible story to share with your friends, add to your college application, or resume.  Keep in mind there are some inconveniences, but isn't that what it is all about?  After all the lighthouse keeper dealt with incredible odds, serving as a beacon of hope and information to those passing by.

Shipwreck Museum

Have you considered the life style of a late 19th century lifeboat rescue crew?  Living in often a remote area of the country along grand lake shores keeping eyes open for a ship that might go down, tossing in the life boat and rescuing the ship's crew.  The Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society has renovated a 1923 U.S. Coast Guard Crews Quarters. The quarters are meticulous and located on the Shipwreck Museum's grounds.  No McDonald's or Burger King in walking distance, no residential neighborhood to your right or left.  Just the magnificent shores of Lake Superior, freighters passing by, and the museum's complex just a stone's throw from your front door.

Experience life along the shores of Lake Superior this summer!  You'll build memories for a life time.
