Calendar

Bestselling author Kathleen Ernst will again be serving as a volunteer docent at the historic 1858 Pottawatomie lighthouse overlooking Lake Michigan in Door County WI. The lighthouse, and nearby Washington Island, are the settings for The Light Keeper's legacy, Kathleen's award-winning third Chloe Ellefson Historic Sites mystery book.

Tours of the beautifully restored lighthouse are conducted daily from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM and are free and open to the public.

NOTE: Reaching the lighthouse requires prior planning. From Northport at the tip of the Door County, WI penninsula, you take the 30-minute car ferry to Washington Island, drive 20 minutes across the island to Jackson Harbor, take the 15-minute passenger ferry from there to Rock Island, and then walk just over a mile to the lighthouse. Ferry schedules and cost information can be found HERE.
