Poppins and I travel to the Straits of Mackinac in Northern Michigan to visit a lonely island called St. Helena. The island was home to the St. Helena Fishing Station and St. Helena Lighthouse.

The St. Helena Lighthouse has been completely restored over the past few decades by a dedicated group of volunteers and Scouts. The Great Lakes Lighthouse Keepers Association have been responsible for the restoration and they have done a superb job.

We explore the history of the island and the challenges of keeping a 150 year old lighthouse preserved and working.
